Truth Is Simple

Truth is Simple

This information that we share about Natural Hygiene is nothing new, in fact it’s been around since the beginning. Today I thought I would share my collection of passages, quotes with a few of my own thoughts. Enjoy! 

“Natural Hygiene is a biological model that is based on hundreds of years of scientific analysis and observation” 

~Carrington, 1954

🌱The human body is self healing and able to maintain health when it’s basic needs are met. This is precisely where we as a species have gone terribly wrong.  And I can see why.  I imagine that we strayed from our species appropriate diet slowly at first and today, all the unnatural habits and choices are so commonplace that the truth of what we are designed to consume for optimal health seems absurd!  

It’s almost surreal to think that humans are so far removed from our Natural Biological diet that when we sit down at the table with a bowl of fruit, or a large salad, the others find it foreign and something they would not consider doing themselves! 

But the simple truth remains no matter what everyone else is doing:   A natural / simple diet is required to achieve optimal health and vitality. 

“Hygienists have no secret compound to offer, no panacea to sell at a dollar a bottle and no wonder drugs to produce health in spite of the existence of every reason in the earth why health should not exist. They can only point to the laws of nature, by obedience to which we are able to attain and maintain the most glorious health.”

-Herbert M. SHelton

The truth of the matter is, products are required when there is a problem.  I’ve always said that the creation of products is COMPENSATION for our failing health.  Natural Hygiene recognizes what the problem is and simply removes the problem from the equation.  Natural Hygiene does not add to the problem, products, remedies, cures, etc. do. 

Here are a few passages from “The Science and Fine Art of Nutrition”

Greens

“Man requires his daily supply of green grass as much as does the horse, cow, ape, bird, etc. Not the small salad (two leaves of wilted lettuce, a thin slice of a half-ripened tomato, a radish and a spoonful of foul-tasting dressing) served in the restaurants, but a large bowl of salad each day is required by every one”. 

The calorie

“The average meal consumed today is the outgrowth of the efforts of cooks who have catered to taste rather than to reason. The basic plan is to combine proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The conception of the calorie has retarded logical and rational reasoning in regard to diet, more so than any single other factor. The calorie is definitely associated with proteins, carbohydrates and fats. The calorific conception is a fuelistic rather than a nutritional conception. Nourishing such a complex aggregation of cells designated as the body differs widely from the problem of burning fuel to make steam.”

Enjoy the rest of these thought provoking quotes by Herbert Shelton!

“You don’t need treatment. The fever, inflammation, coughing, etc., constitute the healing process. Just get out of their way and permit them to complete their work. Don’t try to ‘aid’ nature. She doesn’t need your puny aid—she only asks that you cease interfering”.

“Surgeons can cut out everything except cause”

“Cutting out bad habits is far more effective than cutting out organs”.

“If you desire truly to live you will cease trying to find magic tricks and short-cuts to life and learn the simple laws of being, and order your life in conformity with these. Realign your life with the laws of nature—this and this alone constitutes living to live”.

“Substances that are injurious to the well are equally (or more so) injurious to the sick”.

“Healing is a biological process, not an art. It is as much a function of the living organism as respiration, digestion, circulation, excretion, cell proliferation, or nerve activity. It is a ceaseless process, as constant as the turning of the earth on its axis. Man can neither duplicate nor imitate nor provide a substitute for the process. All schools of healing are frauds”.

“Although man has included meat in his diet for thousands of years, his anatomy and physiology, and the chemistry of his digestive juices, are still unmistakably those of a frugivorous animal”.

“Old age is not a time of life. It is a condition of the body. It is not time that ages the body, it is abuse that does”.

“The so-called symptoms of disease are manifestations of an inherent principle of the organism to restore healthy function and to resist offending agents and influences”.

🌿I could read Herbert Shelton quotes all day, he truly was ahead of his time, and unfortunately not a lot has changed since his passing in terms of the average doctor, or person understanding the true nature of disease and how to maintain health. 

If there’s one thing that I’ve mastered, it’s never beating myself up, or feeling bad about my occasional “less than ideal” choices because what’s most important is building healthy habits and what we do 95% of the time has a lot more impact than the 5%.  Of course I strive to do the best for myself, but no one is perfect.
