Law of Cure

[Guest guest]

" Give me fever and I can cure every disease. " Thus Hippocrates the

Father of Medicine, expressed the fundamental Law of Cure over two

thousand years ago. I have expressed this law in the following

sentence: " Every acute disease is the result of a cleansing and

healing effort of Nature. "

 

This law, when thoroughly understood and applied to the treatment of

diseases, will in time do for medical science what the discovery of

other natural laws has done for physics, astronomy, chemistry and

other exact sciences. It will transform the medical empiricism and

confusion of the past and present into an exact science by

demonstrating the unity of disease and treatment.

 

Applying the law in a general way, it means that all acute diseases,

from a simple cold to measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, smallpox,

pneumonia, etc., represent Nature's efforts to repair injury or to

remove from the system some kind of morbid matter, virus, poison or

microorganism dangerous to health and life. In other words, acute

diseases cannot develop in a perfectly normal, healthy body living

under conditions favorable to human life. The question may be asked:

" If acute diseases represent Nature's healing efforts, why is it

that people die from them? " The answer to this is: the vitality may

be too low, the injury or morbid encumbrance too great or the

treatment may be inadequate or harmful, so that Nature loses the

fight; still, the acute disease represents an effort of Nature to

overcome the enemies to health and life and to reestablish normal,

healthy conditions.
