More quotes by Herbert M. Shelton
Life should be built on the conservation of energy.
Herbert M. Shelton
Old age is not a time of life. It is a condition of the body. It is not time that ages the body, it is abuse that does.
Herbert M. Shelton
There is not a single argument nor a single fact that can be offered in favour of flesh eating that cannot be offered, with equal strength, in favour of cannibalism.
Herbert M. Shelton
Deep within the human constitution lie written laws of nature that should guide man in the conduct of his life.
Herbert M. Shelton
Although man has included meat in his diet for thousands of years, his anatomy and physiology, and the chemistry of his digestive juices, are still unmistakably those of a frugivorous animal.
Herbert M. Shelton
Health and disease are the same thing—vital action intended to preserve, maintain, and protect the body. There is no more reason for treating disease than there is for treating health.
Herbert M. Shelton
We cannot be damaged into health.
Herbert M. Shelton
There are many things to resist, but disease is not one of them.
Herbert M. Shelton
Food-addiction, or food-drunkenness, is an old story in Hygienic literature. This is the first mention I have seen of it in regular medical literature. I fear to hope that its recognition spells progress.
Herbert M. Shelton
A modern hospital is like Grand Central Station—all noise and hubbub, and is filled with smoking physicians, nurses, orderlies, patients and visitors. Soft drinks are sold on each floor and everybody guzzles these popular poisons. The stench of chemicals offends the nose, while tranquillizers substitute for quietness.
Herbert M. Shelton
You don't need treatment. The fever, inflammation, coughing, etc., constitute the healing process. Just get out of their way and permit them to complete their work. Don't try to 'aid' nature. She doesn't need your puny aid—she only asks that you cease interfering.
Herbert M. Shelton
At the very dawn of history, the care of the sick was actually superior to what the great majority of mankind receive today when ill.
Herbert M. Shelton
There are but a few blood purifiers and these are all in the body. We know them as the liver, kidneys, lungs, colon, and a few glands.
Herbert M. Shelton
Cutting out bad habits is far more effective than cutting out organs.
Herbert M. Shelton
It is always a much easier task to educate uneducated people than to re-educate the mis-educated.
