The following video is a lecture from Alec Burton, called “Everyone Can Learn More About Healthy Living - Part 2 (Q&A)”. Alec is / has been (I actually don’t know if he’s still alive) a sane and rational voice for Natural Hygiene in Australia, and by extension for the world. He keeps it simple and relatable, which is what it should be. Natural Hygiene is for everyone to comprehend and make use of, to become once more independent with everything concerning health. This video comes from the “Vegan Society of Australia” channel, below you will be able to find the playlist with the original videos. I have tried to improve the audio and reduce the file size. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBtdlz7FcmEtpbERRZMzLNnhdf_3IuQGW&si=2ftmtSa_1pBYWS5y

A lecture from the "dean of Natural Hygiene" Herbert M. Shelton about "what constitutes a life worth living?" This audio is from a series of lectures given at a Natural Hygiene convention by Herbert M. Shelton. Shelton talks about a variety of subjects concerning health and life in general. Some hard hitting truths are addressed, for you to either accept or ignore. These clips are made from the audio found on a YouTube channel called DrHerbertShelton (https://www.youtube.com/@DrHerbertShelton) The audio has been enhanced & silent portions were cut. A title page was added so you would not have to look at a black screen for the duration of the lecture (should you want to watch something while listening) Fullness of function is a joy. When health starts to lack, complaints arise. In most cases we cause our own suffering, we build our disabilities over time. Correcting our mode of living can set up back on track.

Introduction Why give attention to the combinations of foods eaten? Why not combine our foods indiscriminately and eat haphazardly? Why give thought and attention to such matters? Do animals follow rules of food combining? The answers to these questions are simple. Let us start with Animals eat very simply and do very little combining. Certainly the meat eating animal consumes no carbohydrates with his proteins. He does not take acids with his proteins. The deer grazing in the forest combines his foods very little. The squirrel, eating nuts, is likely to eat his fll of nuts and take no other food with these. Birds have been observed to eat insects at one time of day, seeds at another. No animal in a state of nature has the great variety of different foods spread before it at a meal that civilized man has. Primitive man had no such great variety of foods at a meal. He, too, ate simply, as do the animals. - Herbert M. Shelton

It may be true under given circumstances, that no medicine on one hand, and much medicine on the other are extremes, and that moderate medication is "the golden, happy medium ;" but that is not the great fundamental question now pending. The first and main point to be settled is this : —Is man so constituted in his structural arrangement, the organic and functional laws of his system, the nature, mode of supply, application and operation of the principle of life, that when he is prostrate under what is called disease, his restoration to health can be secured by the agency of medicine, as general rule, founded on a general principle in pathology, such as wrong action, wrong tendency, or the like? Whether the other extreme of no medicine presents the truth as a general truth, remains to be elucidated and confirmed. One thing however is clear : —Physicians must find a "solid bottom" somewhere before they can establish a just and reliable system of practice. And this foundation must be laid in a thorough and correct knowledge of general pathology. Physicians must understand the true nature and tendency of that state of the vital organism which is denominated disease. "I am tiled of this theorizing about disease—let us have facts." If we are in danger of being misled by theory, we are no less so by facts. "What mischief have we done," said Dr. Rush, "under the belief of false facts and false theories ! We have assisted in multiplying diseases, we have done more, we have increased their mortality. Facts, however, are never false; a false fact would be a strange anomaly. But there may be a false interpre- tation of facts, which may mislead. - Isaac Jennings
