A note about psychology

3. The Natural Hygiene is not alone concerned with the cure of diseases and the maintenance of health, but extends further into a great many departments of life’s activities, such as Agriculture and Horticulture, and particularly into Psychology, thereby giving release from the imperfect and rather false psychology, namely the Freudian system called Psycho-Analysis, which is costly and often fruitless. This last is a means of exploitation for profit, just like allopathic medicine.

4. Since Natural Hygiene is by no means – and is not likely to become – popular, not because of any shortcomings of this Science, but because of the general decline of mental health and character due to the growth of western civilisation, it happens that converts to this method come from the ranks of the medical failures, ...

..., chiefly chronics, who owe their ruined health to the brutally violent suppression of their earlier and lighter ailments, and to the symptomatic treatments for temporary relief, consisting of further poisoning, leaving the chronic ill-health to worsen with time, therefore it is felt to be necessary to make them understand why ‘medicine’ has not only failed to give them health, but has actually taken away what health they had at first.

About vaccines

5. A great deal of space has been devoted to the condemnation of filth-medication – vaccination and inoculation.

No conscientious, cultured man can be complacent, so long as these tyrannical and unconstitutional infractions of our fundamental rights continue in the name of the false and hypocritical claim that our State is going to be a “Welfare State.” The kind of men that are needed for materialising that ideal do not exist, cannot be found, and will not be engaged in the service of that ideal; such men if there be will be rigorously excluded from all share in political power.

Learn to be your own doctor

6. A special feature of this book is the insistence on Self-Reliance for followers ultimately, if not at once. The professional Nature-Curists are not as reliable as they profess to be, and safety lies in being one’s own doctor. (1/2)

Why it's important to do your own research and to learn to think for yourself

It may be thought that this evil can be remedied by establishing Colleges. But there is no guarantee that the Colleges will not be started by some opulent, but ignorant men, employing equally ignorant ones as professors, so that only ignorant and incapable professionals will be turned out. (2/2)

The less responsibility you take on, the less control of everything you're going to have.

7. Many are hankering for State recognition and patronage. But there is a heavy price to be paid for this. For state patronage is usually both blind and perverse, and it would lead to the demoralisation of the movement, and to a falsification of the science. It is safe to say that whatever the state can give the people in the field of Health will be only Dead-Sea fruit. (1/2)

Just see how stupidly and disastrously the state is administering the Agricultural Department, pushing the deadly artificial manures, which produce diseased crops, liable to pests and parasites, which are then massacred by spraying DDT and worse poisons, which ultimately affect the public health.
