Principles of Nature Cure: (Kenneth S. Jaffrey)

July 31, 2007

1. All healing power is within your own body.

2. There is no curative power in drugs, medicines, herbs, foods, electrical apparatus or anything else outside your own body.

3. Nature has not provided cures for disease. Nature has only provided penalties for the breaking of some natural law.

4. Return to an obedience to natural law is the only valid method of cure.

5. Drugs cause disease. If they succeed in " curing " one disease, they cause another. All drugs have two effects. One is that intended to benefit the patient and the other is the side-effect which harms the patient. You cannot have one without the other.

6. Since all drugs are potential causes of disease we should avoid them at all times.

7. Drugs do not act upon the body, as taught in medical schools and in medical textbooks. The body reacts to the drug. The body recognises the drug as unwanted material and makes an attempt to expel it.

8. True medicines are materials and influences which have normal relations to the body. Drugs are all harmful because they are not normal to the body by Nature.

9. Nature's medicine chest contains: Sunlight, air, water, rest, exercise, correct temperature, natural foods, positive mental attitude, and correction of misaligned body joints.

10. Nature Cure consists in supplying the body with whatever it needs, and can use, in the particular circumstances.

11. Nature Cure assists to get well by removing the causes of disease, and by providing the most favorable conditions.

12. Nature Cure is not a one-sided approach to health. It makes use of all non-harmful methods which have as their objective the normalization of the body.

13. When the body is given its normal natural materials and conditions it maintains health. It will restore health when it has been lost.
