Synopsis

This book, informed by pioneering research, overturns conventional norms and provides a comprehensive approach to treating disease by utilizing the human body's self-healing potential. It articulates an accessible and holistic method of treating disease, utilizing natural remedies and herbal medicines. The author provides a contrast to popular medical knowledge by asserting that all diseases stem from one general cause, proposing a unified method of treatment that empowers individuals to take charge of their health and well-being. The book emphasizes the importance of cleansing the body of toxins through emetics and the bowels, and establishes the significance of a nutrient-rich diet and proper exercise in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from An Improved System of Botanic Medicine, Vol. 2: Founded Upon Correct Physiological Principles; Embracing a Concise View of Anatomy and Physiology; Together With an Illustration of the New Theory of Medicine The reader will have perceived, that in the first volume we have devoted ourselves exclusively to an illustration of the general principles of life, of disease, and method of cure. And it will not be at all surprising, if an attentive reader should find some parts too superficially, whilst others may be too obscurely, too loosely, or too unconnectedly treated. We say it will not be surprising, because it is not only the first work attempted of the kind, but many parts of it were hastily written and committed to the press without the opportunity of maturing it by reflection, which is so essentially necessary in a work embracing so many new views, and so wide a range. True, we dwelt long upon but a few of the particular subjects treated of under their proper heads, because brevity seemed more necessary than a great display of words. We trust, however, that the careful reader will readily understand the important principles that we have laid down, upon which the healing art is based, and on which medicines must act in the restoration of health. In treating of Disease, we shall also endeavor to be concise but comprehensive; and confine ourselves generally to those complaints which are most common or peculiar. The reader, if he has perused the first volume, has no doubt perceived that we disregard all the various and contradictory systems of nosology which have been offered to the world, and which we confidently assert have had no better effect, than to amuse the speculative mind, without, in any degree, improving the healing art. We believe with Dr. Rush, that disease is an unit; or, in other words, that all disease arise from one general cause, and, hence, may be cured, if curable, by one general remedy or remedies.
