GETTING WELL: DISEASE AND ITS TREATMENT

Disease - Nature's Way to Get You Well

Thus disease, as we know it, is a self-defensive effort of the body to restore the impaired health. Disease is not a negative condition which should be combated and suppressed ("cured") with all available means, but a positive, constructive process initiated by the body's healing forces and aimed at restoring health. Unbelievable as it may sound, we actually need disease to get well! When the body becomes ill, only the disease (which more correctly should be called health-restoring activity) can bring it back to health again. Thus we do not cure a disease, but cure a sick body, and restore health - often with the help of disease! -which is nothing but nature's own way of getting you well!

The Basic Treatment of Disease

Since most conditions of ill health are systemic in their origin and have the same underlying causes, the basic treatment of all disease is likewise the same.

First, all the underlying causes of disease must be eliminated - health-destroying causes that produced ill health, such as nutritional, physical and emotional stresses and abuses. After that, the patient should undergo a short cleansing juice fast to assist the body in throwing off all the accumulated toxins and wastes. Then the patient should be put on a special supportive health-restoring and vitality-building program with emphasis on optimum nutrition, specific vitamins, supplements, herbs and juices and other supportive biological treatments such as hydrotherapy, massage, manipulative treatments (if needed), exercises, etc., which will help the body's own healing forces to accomplish the restoration of health. In every case, the biological doctor must outline the therapeutic program individually; it must be adjusted to the specific individual needs and the condition of the patient.
