Quote of the Moment: We are not Reformers - Shelton

We are not reformers

 

Hygienic Review

Herbert Shelton

 

WE ARE NOT reformers; we are revolutionists. Medical reform -- the world has

had quite enough of that. Reforming the drug system by substituting one set

of drugs for another is a ridiculous farce. It may, to be sure, substitute a

lesser for a greater evil, in many cases, but is like reforming big lies

with little falsehoods. It is like reforming swearing with obscene language;

or like reforming robbing with cheating. Reforming allopathy with homeopathy

and both with physio-medicalism, and all these with eclecticism, is like

promoting temperance by substituting cider and lager for rum, brandy, gin,

wine, or flesh eating by substituting milk, butter, cheese, for animal food.
