NATURAL HYGIENE: THE HEALTH SCIENCE THAT WOULD NOT DIE
I was fortunate enough to discover Natural Hygiene for myself, notwithstanding efforts over the years by established medicine to discredit and repress it. After eight years of independent study much to my excitement and delight, a complete course based on Natural Hygiene principles finally became available in 1978.
The American College of Health Science was founded in the late 1970s. The college is not "accredited."
Do you know why schools that offer alternative health curricula are not accredited? In the early 1900s the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations became heavily involved in philanthropic grants to medical schools. Their goal was to create a "respectable" male, upper class medical profession, which based its philosophy on drug therapy. (Coincidentally, at that time the Rockefellers were already in the business of selling drugs.) At that point in history there was a great deal of diversity of health care, with drugs being used mostly by a wealthy elite and more natural approaches to health care being supported by a large segment of the population. In 1909 the Carnegie Foundation sent Abraham Flexner on a national tour of all schools that offered training in health care, from the largest right down to the most humble. It was up to Flexner, one man representing only one philosophy, to determine which schools would receive philanthropic funding in order to become more established and which would not. Flexner selected as recipients for generous grants only the larger, wealthier schools that were willing to conform to the medical model of drug therapy preferred by the Carnegies and Rockefellers. For smaller schools and those with more natural approaches, the message was clear: "Conform to the medical model or close." As far as Flexner was concerned these schools were not worth saving. The desire of the population for freedom of choice was not even considered.
The now infamous Flexner Report of 1910 put the nails in the coffin of health care diversity in this country. Alternative schools closed by the score, including six of America's eight black medical schools and all the medical schools admitting women. Those who fought closure were vandalized and destroyed by goon squads. The new medical elite sanctioned by the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations had no desire to share the health care field with anyone whose philosophies might be different than theirs, and they had no intention of making their costly training available to blacks, women, or lay healers. (In his report Flexner had actually complained that as a result of popular pressure in the previous century, any "crude boy" was able to seek medical training.) Now the doors were closed to all but white middle and upper class males.
As a result of the legislative clout that the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations possessed, tough state and federal licensing laws and regulations were passed limiting official recognition to the favored medical approach. This was done with the expressed intent of precluding diverse philosophies of health care being made available to the public, in effect guaranteeing a monopoly on health treatment. The following remarks by Dr. W. A. Evans, Commissioner of Health of Chicago, which appeared in the September 16, 1911, Journal of the American Medical Association, make that clear: "As I see it, the wise thing for the medical profession to do is to get right into and man every great health movement. Man health departments, tuberculosis societies, child and infant welfare societies, housing societies, etc. The future of the profession depends on keeping matters, so that when the public mind thinks of these things, it automatically thinks of physicians and not of sociologists or sanitary engineers [his name for Natural Hygienists]. The profession cannot afford to have these places occupied by other than medical men." The profession cannot afford to have these places occupied by other than medical men?
In the ensuing decades all forms of health treatment other than medical treatment were Outlawed or driven into hiding. Homeopathy and midwifery were outlawed. Natural Hygiene was outlawed. Chiropractic was discredited to the point of nearly being outlawed. Now, thank goodness, we see a great movement toward liberalization and freedom of choice. What was outlawed is now legal in some states. And though nonmedical health care schools are still unable to receive government funding or medical accreditation (obviously), they are presently flourishing nonetheless as people aggressively search for new answers to problems that have not been solved by "established" medical solutions. With all of the free flow of nonmedical information now evident, we are clearly in the midst of a popular health reform movement; freedom of speech and freedom of choice are finally being extended to the area of health care.
The alternatives didn't resurface out of nowhere. The public demanded them, and over the last thirty years men and women of conviction have withstood harassment and even the threat of imprisonment to meet the public demand. (Hygienists like Dr. Herbert Shelton, Dr. William Benesh, and Dr. Gian-Cursio were actually imprisoned for extending successful treatment to cancer victims who had previously been treated and given no chance for recovery by the medical establishment.)
I received my Ph.D. in nutritional science from the American College of Health Science in February 1983. No, it's not "accredited"—today's Abraham Flexners have seen to that—but it is the one and only institution anywhere in the United States that even has a course of study in Natural Hygiene.
This brings me to a subject that must be addressed and laid to rest: credentials.
When it finally became apparent to some of the dietitians and nutritionists that their attempts to malign the information in Fit for Life were simply an exercise in futility due to the huge numbers of people obviously benefiting from it, they decided to attack me instead, asserting that I had no credentials—if you don't like the message, attack the messenger. This, of course, is a typical half truth used extensively by those not secure with their own status. They left out one word. It's not that I don't have credentials, it's that I don't have their credentials. With their credentials I would blithely be spouting the same stale, antiquated myths about eating and "the basic four food groups" they insist on ramming down our collective throats, thereby aiding and abetting the spread of disease and suffering that plagues America today. Truth is not established by credentials!
The American Dietetic Association (ADA), which has failed miserably to present to the American people a simple, workable approach to eating that brings healthful results, is very threatened by and antagonistic toward those who succeed where they have failed. They have become expert at throwing up smoke screens to mask their own shortcomings, muddle the work of others, and distract attention from the real issue, their own ineffectiveness. Their goal seems to be to maintain a level of public confusion that makes it difficult for people to embrace and stay with any innovative eating program that differs from what the ADA is pushing.
It appears to me that the people most interested in credentials are those who have them and nothing else—they have no innovative ideas, they have no new information to impart, they have nothing of practical value, but they do have their certificates. What is the ADA? In the early part of this century there were several nutritional philosophies. A group of private citizens with similar views got together, issued themselves certificates and took on the official sounding title, American Dietetic Association. From that time until today they have been trying to stifle all other philosophies in the vast field of nutritional study. No legislative body appointed them. The people did not elect them. They simply designated themselves as authorities and now claim to have the last word in nutrition. They like to stand around congratulating each other for being credentialed and attack with a vengeance anyone they have not admitted to their club.
If credentialed dietitians had all the answers, would 90 percent of the people of this country consider themselves overweight? Would millions of people be so anxious to rush to the bookstore for new answers every time a book on diet comes out? How absurd it is that such a closed-minded, self-serving organization as the American Dietetic Association should think it is in charge of deciding who should and should not be "certified" to impart nutritional information. It is virtually the same as asking someone who has never successfully sailed on the open seas to judge whether a ship is worthy to sail around the world.
