Описание:

Herbert Shelton was, in many ways, a man ahead of his own time. Born at the close of the 20th century, Shelton was an adherent of the Hygienic movement and a tireless advocate of alternative medicine. Throughout his life he opposed mainstream medical practices; he warned that drugs were being over-prescribed and that hospitalization often made sick patients get sicker. Shelton dedicated his life to offering a different approach to health. He wrote extensively about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the natural healing properties of the body, and the importance of avoiding drugs and surgery.

More than anything else, Shelton emphasized the need to become attuned to the natural processes of the body. He warned that civilized man had grown out of touch with the promptings of his own instincts, and that there was an urgent need to reconnect to the physical side of life - to eat nutritious food (raw, when possible), exercise, take in the sun, and get plenty of proper rest. Shelton warned that failing to listen to the bodys natural needs could lead to serious disease. But he also believed that at almost any stage, the body could be set back on the right and healthy course.

Herbert Shelton was a prolific writer, and it would be virtually impossible to read all of his works. However, Shelton tended to return again and again to a few major themes, all of which are included in this collection. Those themes include the nature of disease; diet and nutrition; fasting; and the Hygiene movement itself. In many ways, Shelton was concerned with what we might call preventive care today.

Shelton believed that the doctors of his time were looking at the problem of disease backwards. He pointed out that most of the time, doctors dont diagnose a condition until it has reached a very advanced stage. In many cases, he wrote, medical men didnt diagnose the condition until after the patients death, when an autopsy was performed. To Shelton, this was an absurd situation. As he wrote,

When a pathological condition becomes manifest so that a diagnosis, right or wrong, may be made, this is not its beginning. Indeed, its beginning may be, and often is years prior to this. Its development is invariably slow, gradual, insidious, causing little to no disturbance to the body and no visible sign of its presence.

A body treated well - treated hygienically - will preserve its own health, Shelton argued. Thats the kernel of his beliefs, and its also the reason that he was so virulently opposed to mainstream medicine. He railed against what medical drugs, calling them poison. But beyond that, he urged his followers to look at health, and disease, in a whole new way.

Looked at correctly, Shelton believed, disease is not an enemy. It is an opportunity to improve ones own relationship to our bodies. It is an opportunity to reconnect with our native vitality and to come into deeper connection with the restorative forces of nature. At a time when more and more of us are living anxious lives, increasingly disconnected from the physical and natural world, Sheltons writings seem more relevant than ever.
