The Science Behind Philosophy Of Nature Cure

This book delves deeply and with a strong scientific emphasis into the theories, philosophies, and principles of naturopathy. The book is the first of its kind in making naturopathy's intricacies easier to understand in a simplified form. We have attempted to support each paragraph with evidence in order to convince learning students that naturopathy is a real science and not just a philosophical practice. This book will help the reader comprehend naturopathy notions such as vitality, holism, the body's capacity for healing, toxemia, and the unity of disease and cure. This is a must-read book, and we advise all naturopathic undergraduate and postgraduate students, clinicians, as well as health enthusiasts to read it and broaden their understanding of the beauty of naturopathy. Strengthening the idea will aid learners in understanding the patient and developing treatment strategies, which will finally mold them into competent medical professionals and confident naturopaths.

“Informative . . . I recommend it to practitioners and patients alike.” —Andrew Weil, MD, author of Eight Weeks to Optimum Health and Mind Over Meds International bestselling author Dr. Andreas Michalsen uncovers the natural cures that will transform your health and change your life Sunlight. Forest bathing. Fasting. Cold-water baths. Bloodletting. Leeches. Cupping. These ways of healing have been practiced in different cultures around the world for centuries. But as a cardiologist working with the most high-tech medical tools, Dr. Andreas Michalsen was taught that these practices were medieval and outdated, even dangerous. As he saw surprising results in his patients, however, Dr. Michalsen explored more deeply those seemingly "outdated" methods of healing. The more he researched, the more he was convinced by the power of natural medicine--naturopathy--to heal the human body. Over the past few decades, Dr. Michalsen has published the most cutting-edge scientific research on the efficacy of natural medicine. At the prestigious Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Dr. Michalsen has successfully treated thousands of patients using elements found in nature--sunlight, water, nourishing foods, medicinal plants and animals. The culmination of years of research and clinical knowledge, The Nature Cure explains how and why naturopathy works. Dr. Michalsen breaks down the science behind natural ways of healing and shows how we can incorporate these methods into our everyday lives to trigger our body's self-healing mechanism. Thoughtfully written and filled with science, history, case studies, and practical guidance, this illuminating book shares knowledge that has changed the lives of thousands of patients, teaching you what your body needs to heal--without medicine riddled with side effects or invasive procedures. Discover methods of healing that don't just cover up your symptoms, but actually address the root cause of illness.

Written by Lindlahr, the greatest and most articulate of the pioneers of the Nature Cure movement.

The present volume and others of the "Nature Cure Series" which are to follow are an attempt to answer Mr. Louden's inquiry and to formulate and elucidate the fundamental laws of health, disease and cure for which he and many others have been vainly seeking. Who among you at some time or another, has not thought and felt like Mr. Louden and in doubt and perplexity voiced Pilate's query, What Is Truth? The exact information and rational method of teaching which Mr. Louden is seeking, has heretofore been wanting in health-culture literature. Many, indeed, stand ready and willing to show the way to physical, mental and moral perfection. Hundreds, yes, thousands, of different cults, isms, teachers, books and periodicals treat of these subjects, but their teachings are so manifold, so contradictory and confusing, that one becomes bewildered amid the ever increasing testimony. As is often the case in the study of complicated subjects, the more one reads and the more one hears, the less one knows. I believe that no one has described more strikingly this state of general perplexity than Mr. Louden in his excellent letter. Nevertheless, these simple fundamental laws and principles really exist. They must exist, because everything in Nature, including the processes of health, of disease and cure, of birth, of life and death, are subject to law and order. Allopathy, or Old School Medical Science, admits that it does not know these fundamental principles; that it reasons, not from underlying causes, but from external symptoms and personal experiences. It is, therefore, self?confessedly full of doubts, errors and confusion; in short, empirical-and necessarily, a failure Dr. Henry Lindlahr was a giant among those who understood that profit-driven drugs, surgery, and radiation created as much harm as help. Lindlahr's answer was based in working with the body as it tried to heal. To that end he fought bravely against the drugging industry but was ultimately overwhelmed. Perhaps the century since his era will allow new generations of healers to pick up where he left off.
