INHS EDUCATION AREA

learn Natural Hygiene

NOTE: now started - an easy-to-read basic Natural Hygiene introduction course (especially for group-learning). Read more about it in the newsletter.



1. INHS ARTICLES

First - did you read INHS magazines at
http://www.naturalhygienesociety.org/review/ ?
Here are some of the articles:
FROM CHRONIC DISEASE TO HEALTH - THE NATURAL (HYGIENE) ROAD TO RECOVERY
WHAT DO WE HAVE IN COMMON WITH LEONARDO DA VINCI?
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST REQUIREMENT IN DISEASE?

Also on INHS website - read:
VARIOUS ARTICLES BY DR. SHELTON & Dr. Gian-Cursio, DeVries & others.



NOTE: Even though some of the following books recommend "veganism" and "fruitarianism" - INHS doesn't regard these as safe diets, for more than a short time. In INHS, & today's Natural Hygiene we recommend vegetarian and omnivorous diets.



2. DR. HERBERT SHELTON: NATURAL HYGIENE

Start by reading Natural Hygiene, Man's Pristine Way Of Life by HERBERT M. SHELTON (1968)
at the Soil and Health Library.

At the same library http://www.soilandhealth.org you can find many other valuable books by older hygienic writers - especially important are Dr. Tilden, Dr. Trall and Dr. Gian Cursio.


Also read
WHAT IS DISEASE? (80 pages, 440 kb, by Herbert Shelton, 1941) - Fallacy of Cure, How to Recover from Acute & Chronic Disease
The beginning chapters of ORTHOPATHY by Herbert M. Shelton as pdf-file. Excellent introduction to the history of Natural Hygiene, and its philosophy.


Next, look at this analysis of different diseases from a NH standpoint. Especially important if you suffer from a disease yourself!
ORTHOPATHY by Herbert M. Shelton
- a DISEASE ENCYCLOPEDIA for natural drug-free healing (presented by Dr. Stanley Bass), with analysis of Definition, Symptoms, Complications, Etiology, Prognosis & Care of the Patient.





3. INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL BY OTHER AUTHORS

REMARKABLE RECOVERIES FROM SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS by Stanley S. Bass
Good introductory book to natural healing, with interesting examples, consistent with NH analysis.


HEALTH UNLIMITED by Alan Immerman, D.C.
Excellent introduction book to Natural Hygiene, even though the nutrition parts are not up-to-date.


OLD-FASHIONED NH VEGAN COURSE - Raw Food Lessons by Philip at RawFoodExplained
A typical vegan-fruitarian NH course, identical to TC Fry's course (only missing a few chapters at the end, it seems). If you want to know what the typical pre-1990 commercial NH course looked like, this is an example.
Note: if you skip most of the diet-info in this course, it has some good general information.
Remember that we warn about fruitarianism & long-term veganism in INHS. Short-term raw veganism is an excellent detox-diet, though. (But between appr. 1930 - 1990 most hygienists believed veganism was the best long-term diet-choice.)

More about Nutrition

Here are some new research findings that are important for achieving optimal health.
Dr. Stanley Bass has tested & included these with great success in his practice (e.g. by cutting the healing time & getting better results in difficult diseases), since the 1990's, and has published many of his findings. Dr. Paul Goldberg has gone the same route, more or less, as part of his professional work. Dr. Fielder has lectured about deficiencies from veganism. Of other NH doctors, some have started to point to vegan-deficiencies.
    RESEARCH AREAS
  • the insulin mechanism & the effect of certain food on blood sugar
  • the damage of anti-biotics on intestinal flora, its consequences & solutions
  • primitive diets (e.g. from Weston Price), archaeology and anthropology (e.g. aquatic ape, sea-shore man theories)
  • deficiencies caused by veganism & fruitarianism (diets with zero animal foods)
  • problems with enzyme-inhibitors, which are found in e.g. grains, nuts & beans
  • food combining - new theories

EXAMPLE: NEW RESEARCH - THE INSULIN MECHANISM
Note: the latest research about the insulin mechanism is beginning to give us a new understanding regarding digestion of sugar & starches.

Insulin theory & homeostasis ----- e.g. about sugar-caused mineral deficiency;
an example from the email list of how we are trying to learn from newer scientific information.

Emotions & Weight Loss

How to Overcome Resistance to Change

Sometimes our emotions get in the way, when we want to go on a better lifestyle program. This is especially common in cases of overeating, food addictions, etc.

Why can it be so difficult to go down in weight? Even though we know exactly what foods to eat, in what amounts.
Because overeating often calms anxiety, fear or similar. Overeating may stimulate us to feel "up", instead of tired & "down". This is typical for sugar-addictions . It is difficult to stop over-eating on sugar, because sugar stimulates us. We resist cutting down on sugar.

Resistance is common also in exercise. It can be very difficult to either start, or continue regular exercise.

Natural Hygiene is a conglomerate of the best & most scientific ideas to achieve optimal health.
One of the newest methods to reduce emotional stress & resistance seems to fit perfectly in with Natural Hygiene. But it is still under discussion in INHS. It has many names, meridian tapping technique (MTT), thought field therapy (TFT), or emotional freedom techniques (EFT). It is currently not as well-known as e.g. meditation, and is therefore described here.

CLICK HERE for MTT Energy Meridian Tapping Techniques examples.
Why not try if e.g. if you are struggling with any resistance or overeating issue, or stress, or some negative emotion?
