Book Description
Russell Thacker Trall's classic on health and hygiene - "The True Healing Art: Or, Hygienic vs. Drug Medication." This book influenced the Nature Cure and the Natural Hygiene movements. AN ADDRESS DELIVERED AT THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE, WASHINGTON, D. C. "I have myself, through Natural Hygiene, over 16 years, treated all forms and hundreds of cases of typhus and typhoid fevers, pneumonia's, measles and dysentery's, and have not lost a single patient. The same is true of scarlet and other fevers. No medicine whatever was given." --Dr. Trall, 1862. "These diseases (typhoid and pneumonia) are nothing more nor less than a cleansing process - a struggle of the vital powers to relieve the system of its accumulated impurities. The causes of the diseases are constipating foods, contaminated water, atmospheric miasmas, and whatever clogs up the system or befouls the blood. And the day is not far distant when a physician who shall undertake to aid and assist (suppress) Nature in her efforts to expel impurities, by the administration of poisons (drugs, medicines, shots, radiation, etc.) will be regarded as an insane idiot. But now this practice is called medical science." --R.T. Trall M.D. "The Drug Medical System cannot bear examination. To explain it would be to destroy it, and to defend it even is to damage it." --R.T. Trall M.D.
