The Wisdom of the Nature Doctor
• Nature provides everything we need to protect and maintain our health.
• To find the true quality of life, live as far as possible in harmony with the Creator and Nature and be aware of Nature’s powers.
• Enabling people to adopt the struggle for natural harmony as their own aim in life is a rewarding task.
• Foresight is the source of health and happiness. The decision to adopt a natural balanced diet and to heed the body’s own signals must be taken freely and deliberately.
• Health, like illness, does not affect particular organs in isolation, but is closely connected with our attitude towards life, our circumstances and our lifestyle.
• Knowing how nutrition and health are linked makes it easier for us to realise the vital fact that the responsibility for our wellbeing lies in our own hands, and not in those of the health authorities.
• The physician or therapist is like a mountain guide. He leads and shows the way, but he does not carry the patients. They have to make their way themselves.
• Follow Nature’s example and try to find the balance between tension and relaxation, between activity and rest, between intellectual and physical activity.
• Illness and suffering are caused by imbalance and disharmony, in whatever areas of our life they may occur.
• To live according to the principles of Nature is much more than a technique. It requires an inner attitude which is typified by a deep understanding of, as well as respect and sympathy for, creation.
• If we wish to oppose violence, be it against man, the environment or animals, then we have to learn to respect Life as something sacred.
• To allow animals, which are part of creation, to suffer in man’s experiments, is cruel and irreconcilable with an attitude of respect towards Nature.
• It is never too late to start supporting Nature in its urge to heal, because the law of nature calls for the preservation of life.
• Each plant is complete in itself; it proceeds from a formula based on intelligence, forethought, and wise planning. The precious value of the individual plant is jeopardised if its delicately balanced structure is torn apart.
• Natural, holistic medicine does not combat symptoms, but seeks to eliminate the causes of the illness.
• After years of illness, many people have recovered their health thanks to a rigorous change in their way of life and with the help of natural medicine.
• Every substance contained in a plant has purpose and significance. They complement each other and act as a whole.
• Good health should be treasured and never abused, for good health leads to happiness.
• In all your striving let love be your guide, for it is the greatest power in the universe.
