GOD'S MEDICINE
Through Natural Hygiene

What is health?
Health can be defined as, "Having fullness of function." Health means complete well-being, inner and outer harmony, shalom peace, vigor, strength, and mental acuity.
GOD made the body to be self-healing and self-sustaining. For the most part, without our awareness or even having to tell it what to do, our bodies are performing a variety of tasks. At this very moment, our heart is pumping blood, the liver is detoxing impurities, specific enzymes are breaking down food, the bladder collects urine, white blood cells go after foreign invaders, a skin cut smoothes, and the list goes on. Clearly, God knew what He was doing when He made man and all His creations.
Natural Hygiene is living in accord with our natural heritage. It is a health system based soundly on the principles and practices that are in alignment with nature and its interaction with the physical body.
Natural Hygiene is based on the biological and physiological functions of the human system. The inherent mechanisms of life all tend to maintain a high level of health and function. All concerted actions within the body are organic in function and directed by the master-control mechanism: the brain.
Perfect health exists if our living practices are correct. Toxins inside the body are harmful. However, body actions (such as a fever) enables the body to eject or eliminate those toxins are not harmful. Disease is instituted by the body itself as an emergency measure to purify and repair itself. The best way to help the body in disease is to intelligently do nothing and simultaneously establish conditions of health, conditions that enable the body to devote all its vitality to the healing crisis. When given the proper preconditions for life, the body will easily take care of itself.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:22
