Natural Drug Free Healing

The Basics of Natural Drug-Free Healing within Orthopathy & Natural Hygiene

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE DISEASE?

Always ask yourself: could the cause of this disease be internal toxicity? Do I need to detoxify?
Did you know that disease bacteria/viruses/germs only thrive in bodies full of toxins, in toxic/dirty environments? And that drugs are toxic?
Quote: "Barring injury, emergencies, or complications resulting from injury, such as hemorrhaging, broken bones, etc.... , diseases are caused by any or all of 3 factors  namely
enervation,
toxemia
deficiency."

TREATMENT / CARE OF PATIENTS

Since the true disease-causes are generally either (1) enervation (lack of energy), (2) toxicity or (3) deficiency, care/treatment can be divided into:
1. removing the enervation (sleep, rest)
2. removing the toxicity (detoxification via water fasting, juice diets, raw diets, minimal eating, saving digestive energy via food combining, chewing well, etc.)
3. removing the deficiency (raw foods, raw juices, food-processed & blended salads)

4. general health-building measures

WHAT METHODS ARE USED IN DRUG-FREE HEALING?

Drug-free healing does not want to add to the body's toxic load. Therefore absolutely no drugs, herbs or anything toxic are given. (Note that sugar is toxic for some.) Instead toxins are removed - via detoxification.

Also, since sick people usually not only are toxic, but also deficient - it is important to increase the nutrients in the diet. The most nutritious diets consist of raw foods. All other deficiencies also have to be addressed, whenever possible - e.g. lack of sunshine, lack of exercise, lack of sleep and rest. Note: Raw vegan diets are usually deficient (humans are omnivorous and need some animal foods).

The third cause of disease is lack of energy - not only due to lack of sleep and rest - but also unnecessary energy-drain via negative thoughts, worry, grudges, anger, negativism, depression, stress, etc.
The life-style must be changed towards optimal, that is the first requirement of drug-free healing.

Here are a few of the methods used in drug-free healing:
METHOD 1 --- DETOXIFICATION & IMPROVED NUTRITION - VIA RAW EATING
For a lot of examples about how raw juices can be used in care of patients, read this booklet: --- Free download: - REMARKABLE RECOVERIES FROM SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS - booklet presenting how raw foods and juices have been used clinically in medical institutions for over 150 years to help patients recover from cancer and most other diseases, to maximize energy, even to improve intelligence.

METHOD 2 --- DETOXIFICATION VIA WATER FASTING
An alternative & maximally efficient detox-method is fasting - read this article: My First Water Fast by Dr. Bass.
"Could this really be true, I pondered? If so, this radical and shocking fact changed the whole face of disease as a beneficent attempt of Nature to take care of her children and protect them from harm, as opposed to the idea that these illnesses were caused by bacteria and microorganisms."

METHOD 3 --- SLEEP, SUNSHINE, AIR, EXERCISE, ETC.
All the factors of life have to be optimized as much as possible for the body to heal itself with maximum efficiency and speed.

HOW LONG TIME TO RECOVERY?
Also read: The Time factor in Recovery by Dr. Shelton
"A cure is the application of something exotic (a drug or a treatment) which, by virtue of its own power restores the sick man or woman to health. There is no such thing. --- Recovery is the restoration of health by means of forces intrinsic to the organism. This is the only force known that is capable of restoring health. Healing is a biological process, not an art."
WHAT IS DRUG-FREE HEALING?
In Orthopathy Dr. Herbert Shelton in 1941 summarized the most advanced knowledge of drug-free healing, collected by doctors for over 100 years, in encyclopedia form.
Hygiene (Science of Health, Orthopathy, Natural Hygiene) was developed by medical doctors in USA and Europe from around 1820, with exceptional success. The enormous profits of the petroleum-based drug-industry in the 1900's, coupled with the small incomes doctors got in drug-free healing, slowed further development. A handful idealistic doctors continued, teaching these simple & low-cost, but superior healing methods. Read more at INHS website.

HOW ARE DISEASES CURED?
What does the average individual know about keeping well? Almost nothing. ----- The people and their doctors are all in the same boat together with a blind man at the helm. They lack the chart and compass and drift aimlessly on a sea of ignorance and misinformation."

Improving your diet may cause you to feel sick: - This is the biggest difficulty in drug-free healing - this is where most people go wrong, perhaps get scared and stop the ongoing recovery. When our bodies begin to heal and detoxify automatically, we will get "healing symptoms" that can look just like "disease-symptoms".
Read this article: What Symptoms to Expect when You Improve Your Diet.
REMOVE SYMPTOMS OR REMOVE CAUSE?
If your original problem only has gotten larger, or you have gotten new and more serious diseases with time - you know the cause of the problem is still there. This is typically the case while relying on medical "care", or symptom-removal via drugs or surgery.
Instead it is necessary to define the true cause of disease, and remove this cause. As has been known since the 1800s - the largest cause of disease is toxicity (toxemia). Not bacteria.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED AFTER 1941?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN DRUG-FREE HEALING SINCE 1941?
There have been noticeable changes in one area: nutrition. Dr. Cursio and Dr. Bass have been incorporating some of the newest science.
From the 1980's, after science gained new understanding of human primitive diets, and of the insulin mechanism and the detrimental effects of high-carbohydrate diets.
Read these articles for a background:
ABOUT PRIMITIVE DIETS: Primitive Man - His Diet and Health
ABOUT THE INSULIN MECHANISM: The High-Carbohydrate Diet and Related Health Problems.

At the same time, within Hygiene, was developed a new understanding of deficient diets (especially veganism), problems with fruits, that animal foods are necessary, and energy. There was also a realization people in many countries now are more drug-damaged and sicker, e.g. leading to new strong detox reactions.
ABOUT VEGANISM: With three generations of vegetarian hygienists.
ABOUT FRUIT: Fruit - friend or foe?
ABOUT ENERGY: New concepts in Nutrition, Health and Rapid Healing of Illness.

Note: The few diseases that Dr. Shelton classifies as "incurable", today often are "curable". Why? There have been important new developments in drug-free healing after especially in these areas: primitive diets, fasting & diet alternating-methods, and the insulin mechanism.

ANY TREATMENT CHANGES SINCE 1941?
Everything Dr. Shelton writes in Orthopathy is still top-of-the-line. Based on the above development though, according to Dr. Bass, it now is possible to gain even better results than earlier, by (this is a simplification):
1. when fruits and fruit juices are mentioned, instead use vegetable juices.
2. adding raw eggs or other animal foods (if organic and from non-grain-fed animals) at certain stages of healing.
3. alternate between raw foods, raw juices and shorter periods of water fasting - while observing the healing symptoms & reactions.

Note: for best results - do NOT fall for salespersons of vitamins, herbs, drugs, potions, lotions, enemas etc. (which only delay healing) - do ONLY use natural foods, sleep, sunshine, water, etc.
