Nature-Cure is a revolution in the art and science of medicine. It is a way of life based on a simple philosophy of cause and effect. It honors nature and how we were designed to live.

Health is the normal and harmonious vibration of the elements and forces that comprise the human organism. Disease is abnormal and inharmonious vibration of these elements and forces. Acute disease is the body's effort to eliminate waste and foreign matter such as infection or toxins. Acute symptoms should thus be supported in order to assist the body's eliminative efforts. Chronic disease is the accumulation of waste and subsequent destruction of vital tissue. The result is lowered vibration, and inability of the organism to react against destructive processes. The body deteriorates and often creates much suffering in the individual. Treating merely the symptoms often prolongs the disease. One must find the cause and remove the obstacle to cure. A healing crisis is the acute reaction resulting from the ascending of the healing forces over the disease. One feels stronger than prior to the illness. This is rarely seen in today's medicine. It still occurs regularly with homeopathy and other natural medicines. They work miracles daily as nature's expression of love.

Why do we get sick? Disease results from the violation of nature’s law, the law of constructive, life-promoting efforts. We are the only animals that take actions against our own health, against our own lives. Animals have instincts for self-preservation. Humans must use their minds. They must know their goal and value their life above all else. By making decisions based on long-term results, they can guide themselves through pleasure or pain toward their goal.

It is against nature's law to lower your vitality by overworking, being too stressed, over-thinking, worrying, not getting enough sleep, over-stimulating the body, or taking drugs. It is against nature's law to eat poorly, intoxicate your body, and live sedentarily creating abnormal blood and lymph. You accumulate waste by overeating, taking in drugs or alcohol, vaccines, pollution, environmental toxins and not eliminating them properly. These things simply make you sick. They promote the destructive priciple, which is against nature's law.

How do we correct disease? Simple! In the 1800’s, nature-cure developed using exercise, mountain air, sunlight, water treatments in cool brooks, and simple foods to build health in harmony with nature. Methods of cure in conformity with nature include: re-establish the basis for health, conserve the vital force, stimulate the vital force, correct the composition of blood and lymph, eliminate wastes, and restore structural integrity.

How do we re-establish the basis for health? Create normal surroundings and natural habits of life. Realize you alone are responsible for preserving your own life and you must do so first by valuing it. You must take care of yourself. Change your life in whatever ways are necessary to be healthy. Living a healthy life involves basic routines that nourish the human body and spirit. Your daily life is like a dance, perhaps with certain learned moves repeated over and over again. Yet, there is a degree of spontaneity to move in ways that feel good, thus energizing you further.

How do we conserve the vital force? Don't work too hard or socialize too much. Don't waste your time and energy on things that drain you. Don't think too much or worry too much. Sleep, rest, relax, meditate. Engage in creative, constructive thought.

How do we stimulate the vital force? Sunlight, fresh air, clean water, organic foods, exercise, spending time with people we love, doing yoga or martial arts, laughing, playing, lying on the earth, sitting in vortexes all stimulate the vital force. Thinking about something we are excited about, passionate about stimulates our vital force and we take action. Therapies such as hydrotherapy (alternating hot and cold water applications), homeopathy (totality of symptoms for an individualized remedy), reiki (hands on energy work) and acupuncture stimulate the vital force. There are many things that give us energy, fulfill us, motivate us, excite us, make us tick and they are as unique and versatile as each and every one of us.

How do we correct the composition of blood and lymph? Optimize our digestion and assimilation of nutrients. Eat healthy. Take supplements or herbs. Remove food allergies. Decrease inflammation. Balance intestinal flora.

How do we eliminate toxins? Open the emunctories, the organs of elimination including the skin, lungs, intestines, liver, bowels, and kidneys. Drink plenty of pure water and exercise. Dry-skin brushing moves the lymph. Eating well, including lots of vegetables and fiber keep the bowels moving effeciently. Sometimes cleansing diets are necessary. There many botanical medicines that clean and strengthen our organs to help us eliminate toxins.

How do we restore structural integrity? There are many methods to correct the body's structure, ranging from least invasive and subtle, to very invasive such as surgery. Sometimes, the latter is necessary depending on the individual circumstances. Different kinds of people heal with different methods. Some of the methods include cranial sacral, polarity, core synchronism, kinesiology, massage, network chiropractic, rolfing, manipulation, and surgery.

We can do a lot of self-healing with willinglness and simple changes. Sometimes, we need something outside ourselves. We need to connect, and it is this conneciton that brings greater levels of health and harmony. Work with someone who has experience who can help guide you in beginning the journey toward health with a personalized, comprehensive health plan.

Why be healthy? Be healthy so you do not have to think about your body. It moves gracefully, creating your life as you dream it. Your energy can flow abundantly through a body unobstructed by disease, serving others and fulfilling your heart. Your mind is at peace and you are ready to die, knowing it is an easy transition from time to eternity.
