[Father of Natural Hygiene and the true cause of
disease--Toxemia, which is why Dr Shulze
can cure 80% of his patients purely with a bowel cleanse. Praised as
Harvey Diamond's inspiration in his best
selling book Fit For Life. See: Natural
Healers for list of Natural Hygienists. All the secrets of good health
and correct diet.
John H. Tilden (1851-1940) With his
theory of toxemia, or infectious bacteria, John Tilden recognized the role
of stress in causing disease long before this became an accepted idea. Tilden
practiced medicine for years before losing faith in drugs and searching for a
new understanding of disease. He observed that health is impaired when a
person's nervous energy becomes dissipated and the body is no longer able to
properly eliminate the toxic by-products of metabolism. The resulting state of
self-intoxication, or toxemia, was regarded by Tilden as the single underlying
cause of impaired health. He considered individual diseases to be nature's
cleansing efforts, or crises of toxemia. According to Tilden, nervous energy
could become toxic by eating the wrong foods, by overeating, by taking too many
stimulants such as coffee and alcohol, and by other sources of stress such as
emotional and mental strains. Tilden opened a school in Denver, Colorado, next
to a sanatorium that attracted patients from all over the world. Treatment began
with a fast. Tilden gave his patients diets tailored to their individual needs.
He was a strict disciplinarian who wasted no time on those who would not
relinquish degenerative habits. Tilden also wrote between three and seven
o'clock almost every morning. He published a monthly magazine called
Philosophy of Health, which was later renamed Health Review and Critique,
and he refused all advertising in his magazine. Tilden was an important
influence on Henry Bieler, author of the highly popular book
