About This Book

The author contrasts combative and preventive approaches to illness, arguing that hygienic living, natural diet, fasting, hydrotherapy, spinal adjustment, and mental regimen strengthen the body's resistance and reduce reliance on drugs and surgery. The text offers principles and practical recommendations for preventing and treating disease by supporting natural healing, criticizes suppressive therapies and certain surgical and radiological interventions, and urges medical practitioners to emphasize teaching, hygiene, and noninvasive methods. Alongside discussion of therapeutic techniques, it outlines a clinical philosophy that highlights patient-centered preventive care to maintain health and lessen chronic and acute disease.
