Nature Cure: Philosophy & Practice Based on the Unity of Disease & Cure

“Children thus born and reared in harmony with the law will be the future masters of the earth. They will need neither gold nor influence to win in the race of life”

“Relaxation while Sitting Sit upright in a comfortable chair without strain or tension, spine and head erect, the legs forming right angles with the thighs (the chair should be neither too high nor too low), feet resting firmly upon the floor, toes pointing slightly outward, the forearms resting lightly upon the legs with the hands upon the knees. This must be accomplished without effort, for effort means tension. Dismiss all thoughts of hurry, care, worry or fear and dwell upon the following thoughts: "I am now completely relaxed in body and mind. I am receptive to Nature's harmonious and invigorating vibrations”

— Henry Lindlahr

“They were not blinded or confused by the conflicting theories of books and authorities, or by the action of a thousand different drugs on a legion of different symptoms, but applied common-sense reasoning to the solution of the problems of health, disease and cure. They went for inspiration to field and forest rather than to the murky atmosphere of the dissecting and vivisection rooms. They studied the whole and not only the parts, causes as well as effects and symptoms. Realizing that man had lost his natural instinct and strayed far from Nature's ways, they studied and imitated the natural habits of the animal creation rather than the confusing doctrines of the schools.””

“Nature Owe an Exact Science One of the reasons why Nature Cure is not more popular with the medical profession and the public is that it is too simple. The average mind is more impressed by the involved and mysterious than by the simple and common-sense. However, it remains a fact that "exact science" reduces complexity and confusion to simplicity and clearness. Science becomes exact science only when the underlying laws which correlate and unify its scattered facts and theories have been discovered.””

— Henry Lindlahr

“The medical profession has good reason to be alarmed by the inroads made in its work by irregular, unorthodox systems, schools and cults of treating human ailments; but instead of raging at the audacious presumption of these interlopers, would it not be better to inquire if there is not some reason for the astonishing spread and popularity of these therapeutic innovations?””

“motive, When you learn these things I've told you, ~When you know them, when you do them, ~Then I will depart and leave you, Then no more will Pain be needed. IV This is, then, the truth I bring””
