Question For Elchanan based on his post re: Labels

[Guest guest]

Erica,

___

I'm curious, therefore, for you to list the principles of Natural Hygiene

you disagree with. I look forward to your answer.

___

 

I do not recall saying that I disagree with any NH principles in particular.

I do hold some different beliefs than INDIVIDUALS who do consider themselves

affiliated with the label " natural hygiene " . But these are individuals, not

a monolith.

 

NH means many things, over the generations. I identify with some authors and

their teachings, I do not identify as closely with those of others. NH has

never been a monolithic body of work. Rather, it's evolved more as a school

of thought, with contributions for more than a century from various people

adding their own perspectives. And certainly, what those who took over the

association (I am so disconnected from it, I can't even think of the name

right now) teach has little at all to do with anything I would ever do or

teach.

 

Also, there is more to life than health!!! I live my life out of a

profoundly deep and rich sense of calling. Watch where some of us go during

the years ahead, that'll be the best way to learn who we are and what we

stand for.

 

And if you wish, check out post #29792 in the archive. In that post, I share

quite openly about myself, about who I am and how I live.

 

Best,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Question For Elchanan based on his post re: Labels

 

 

Elchanan,

You said you do not consider yourself an Natural Hygienist. You

indicated you don't believe in labels, etc. I totally 100% agree with

that. Understanding NH and it's principles, plus with your referencing

to NH often, I personally naturally related you most to that

diet/lifestyle based on your views. I'm curious, therefore, for you to

list the principles of Natural Hygiene you disagree with. I look

forward to your answer. Erica

I see. So you wouldn't consider yourself an 8/1/1-er, either. Like if I

didn't call myself a vegan, just someone who doesn't support eating,

wearing, experimenting on or exploiting animals for entertainment. ERica
