NATUROPATHY NOTES

There are two main ways to think about our existence: one is relying on our own efforts, which is independent, and the other is depending on a higher power, which is dependent. Both ways of thinking are valid and can be embraced at different times. This dual perspective is supported not just by logic but also by how our bodies are built and how they work physically and mentally.  Our body operates through two main nerve systems: the sympathetic and the motor nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system sends vital energy to our organs, and this energy is often referred to as God, nature, life, or the divine. It controls essential functions like heartbeats, blood circulation, digestion, breathing, and other automatic processes.  Although we don't fully understand this controlling force, we recognize it as incredibly powerful, smart, and kind. The more we learn about our body's anatomy, physiology, and psychology, the more amazed we become at its incredible complexity and how ...

Life is like a huge orchestra where we all play our parts. The big performance is the 'Symphony of Life,' filled with countless sounds and melodies that come together to create a beautiful harmony. We need to learn the rules of music and practice hard so we can play our roles perfectly, matching the vision of the great composer. It's also important to take care of our bodies, which are our instruments. Even the best musicians can't make beautiful music if their instruments are not in good shape. Just like music has its laws, our bodies do too. In the end, everything is about vibrations that interact with the universe. Good vibrations create harmony, while bad ones create chaos. Just as musicians strive for harmony between their instruments and the universe's sounds, those seeking health must find balance between their bodies and the natural rhythms of health around them. The materials in a violin and the sounds it makes are all about motion and vibration. To create ...

Dr. Mehta was affectionately known as 'Dadaji' by his followers, which means elder brother in North and Central Indian languages. His mother was a deeply religious woman who held the Prophet Zarathustra close to her heart and prayed to Him for hours every day. Back then, Jalna didn't have electric lights. One day, she saw a bearded man with long hair dressed in white robes enter her room through a closed door. To her, he looked like the Prophet Zarathustra. He knelt beside her, raised his hand over her womb, and said something like, 'This is the reward for all your prayers.' Then, he walked out through the wall. After that, she found a white rose and a red rose on her bed. Following this, she had a normal pregnancy and gave birth to a baby boy named Dinshah in a Bombay hospital on June 5, 1903. From a young age, Dinshah stood out with his unique personality. By the time he was between 5 and 7 years old, he figured out that the goal of life was to achieve perfection....

It's clear that many centuries ago, Tibetan monks understood that the color of a person's iris could indicate health issues, and there were individuals skilled in reading the eye to identify illnesses just by looking closely at it. For example, Dr. Andreas Kerner, who lived from 1786 to 1862, wrote about Friedericke Hauffe, known as the 'Seeress of Prevorst,' who had an amazing ability to diagnose diseases. She just gazed into the patient's eyes, and in that moment, she could pinpoint where the illness was located in the body. Oekros Lordo, a 70-year-old man from Karhzag in Southern Europe, had the ability to read diseases in the body through this method. The concept of Iridiagnosis as a scientific practice was first introduced by a Hungarian doctor named Ignaz Peczely. Like many significant discoveries, the idea of diagnosing through the eye came from a small incident. Peczely shared his experience like this: "When I was just eleven, I attempted to catch an ow...

Dr. J.H. Kellogg was born in Battle Creek in 1852 and was one of 16 children of John Preston Kellogg. His family became interested in new medical ideas after regular doctors failed to treat various health issues. They subscribed to the Water Cure Journal and embraced these new views. Kellogg didn't have formal schooling until he was 9, and by 11, he was working in his father's broom-making business.  He was very bright and active. At 16, he began editing a newspaper after learning printing at a local plant. In 1866, Battle Creek opened a hydrotherapy center called the Adventist Western Reform Health Institute, which used water treatments on patients, but they weren't very effective, highlighting the need for educated doctors. Because of his intelligence, J.H. Kellogg was chosen to pursue formal medical education. He studied at the State Normal School, the University of Michigan Medical School, and finally graduated from Bellevue Hospital Medical College in New York City in ...

 Dr. John Henry Tilden was born on January 21, 1851, in Van Berenburg, Illinois, to a physician father named Dr. Joseph G. Tilden. He studied medicine at the Eclectic Medical Institute, which was established in 1830 as a response to the traditional allopathic and homeopathic medical practices. He graduated in 1872 with a medical degree. Dr. Tilden began his medical career in Nokomis, Illinois, and continued there until 1890 when he relocated to Denver. In Denver, he set up his practice in the downtown area alongside other doctors. Eventually, he opened a sanitarium in a more suburban part of the city, which he managed along with a school until 1924, when he sold the institution for about half of what he had invested in its growth. He purchased two properties on Pennsylvania in Denver, established a new sanitarium and school, and had to borrow some money from a friend to fund the purchases. This school operated until the doctor's passing on September 1, 1940. During his early practi...
