Ignore the advertising. It has nothing to do with Natural Hygiene.
Natural Hygiene does not tout using supplements and vitamins, but
rather teaches us that we can get what we need from food alone if we
eat correctly. This is one of the reasons that the medical and
pharmeceutical industries would torpedo Natural Hygiene.

Actually, it was the _Fit for Life_ book which torpedoed Natural
Hygiene.

That book which was written at the 3rd grade level, degraded Natural
Hygiene into a method for losing weight. Once upon a time, Natural
Hygiene was used to treat serious infections.

You have my condolences.

Studies have proven that verbal and emotional abuse are every bit as
damaging to the body as physical abuse. Would you eat "[censored]" that was
put in front of you? Why take the nutritional and health advise of
people who use such terms loosely in describing others' opinion and
other people?

Historically speaking, Natural Health was the first health movement to
embrace the mind - body connection. It was most certainly NOT Natural
Hygience.

Also, diet is clearly a biological factor that affects both your
physical and mental health.

Just thought that you might want to know. 🙂

Finally! You posted something that evinces a shred of intelligence and
a tone of expression that one can relate to. Mazal tov, Healthy!

My own M-I-L was saved from a stomach ailment that physicians could not
deal with on a "health farm" that treated her according to Natural
Hygiene .This occurred when my husband was young, decades before FIT
FOR LIFE was written, probably when the Diamonds were toddlers. Luckily
for her, her attending physician was honest enough to say that her
illness was beyond his ken and referred her to the Natural Hygiene
treatment center.

My husband and his siblings were raised henceforth on the Natural
Hygiene principles that my M-I-L learned where she was treated and
continued to practice. I have lived with them for the 23 years we are
together. I know they work. I am not just talking about what I read
in a book here and there.

FIT FOR LIFE is a book that introduces Natural Hygiene to the American
public in a language and style they can understand.

Had Natural Hygiene been presented to Americans in too high falutin' a
way they would never have paid attention.

Most Americans are interested in their weight first and foremost, so
the Diamond's used that point as the "hook" to draw the attention of
the public.

However, upon reading the book one sees very quickly that Natural
Hygiene is far more than just a diet. FIT FOR LIFE II goes deeper into
the lifestyle. The Diamonds say in FIT FOR LIFE II that that is the
book they wanted to write in the first place.

It is left up to the individual to decide how far into Natural Hygiene
they wish to go. One can treat it as a dilettante or devote one's life
to the study and practice and everything in between.

I recommend that you not make yourself preposterous by offering
condolences inappropriately, particularly not repeatedly, as this makes
one wonder of you are not suffering from a form of dementia.

Sorry, but I cannot say the same about your post.

Natural hygiene has been around in the United States since before the
time of the Civil War.

_Fit for Life_ came out after Sheltons Natural Hygiene College was
finally put out of business for killing 8 persons during long
supervised fasting at the college.

"Do not be fooled by their claims to "science" and authority. Scientific
theories come and scientific theories go. But the laws of Natural
Hygiene have kept Humans strong and healthy from time immemorial."

So, the program is not based on science? How then were the "laws"
discovered? How then do we know they arevalid?

" Environmental Nutrition Newsletter calls Fit for Life "typical of the
new wave of books that intertwine scientific detail with pure
nonsense." "

http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/fitforlife.html

The above seems to confirm the dubious scientific content, please read
and evaluate for us. Please confine your comments to the science of the
topic.

_Fit for Life_ came out after Sheltons Natural Hygiene College was
finally put out of business for killing 8 persons during long
supervised fasting at the college.

Please show me something to back up this statement.

Natural Hygiene does not tout using supplements and vitamins, but
rather teaches us that we can get what we need from food alone if we
eat correctly. This is one of the reasons that the medical and
pharmeceutical industries would torpedo Natural Hygiene.

Also, the "mayonnaise" that is mentioned is not egg-based mayo, but
rather, tofu-based mayo, or better, Almonaise, which I mentioned in
another post. Natural Hygiene speaks strongly against the eating of
eggs.

There is a link on that site which will bring you to information about
the Diamonds and their work. Please go to that link. "Meet" the people
who dedicated their lives so that we may live happily and healthily.

The "medical establishment" would love to see Natural Hygiene
discredited. Why? Because it is cost-effective and health-preserving.
That's why. Plain and simple. If you think that physicians and
pharmeceutical companies are concerned with keeping you well - THINK
AGAIN. They are concerned with the fancy lifestyles they live and they
want you coming back again and again.

COMMENT:

The "medical establishment" couldn't care less about this version of
"natural hygiene." Though most of us do refer to the Diamonds' books as
_Fit for Laughs_. The idea that certain foods will get together in your
stomach and somehow react or "putrify" to cause you harm, is right out
of an obscessive-compulsive textbook case description. I suppose if
you're an orthodox Jew with two sets of cookware, all this nuttiness
about keepting different foods away from each other might seem natural
to you (even if the set of foods to be kept separate happens to be
different). But to the rest of the world, it's just over-hand-washing
and ritualization.

The "medical establishment" couldn't care less if you keep kosher,
either, FYI. Everybody has to have a hobby.

You can be a funny guy there Mr Harris.

You tread on thin ice a lot lately. You having a nervous breakdown (as the
medical people called it years ago in ignorance)?
I don't remember you talking like this a few years back. The [censored]
getting to you?

I do keep kosher, Steve. Got a problem with that? Kashrut is based on
some very sound principles too, like not mixing various proteins.
Above and beyond that is the moral aspect of eating, like not cooking a
calf in its mother's milk and shooing a bird away before taking her
eggs. Beyond that the Spiritual aspect of eating - matters which I
won't even attempt to explain to you, as you do not evince the
slightest ability to perceive so rarified a state.

The principles of Natural Hygiene are a major threat to the medical
establishement, because they work, because they are inexpensive and
because they radically reduce the dependence of the public on the
medical establishment. They also get people off being hooked on legal
drugs, so Natural Hygience gets the pharmeceutical industry's panties
into a twist.

You keep right on acting ridiculous though. As Pizza Girl pointed out,
you sound like you're tottering on the brink every time you talk about
Natural Hygiene.

You sound threatened. You sound frightened. You sound out of your
depth, so you resort to ethnic slurs and other off the wall
denegrations.

Please do keep posting. You're making a far better case for Natural
Hygiene that I am!

Please show me something to back up this statement.

Let me introduce you to the web and Google.

Then you might try using the brain that God gave you. 🙂

Perhaps in your neighorhood, but in mine nobody shoos birds away.

You have my condolences. 🙁
