Natural Hygiene (Hygienic Health System, Life Science): Variation of Nature Cure represented by proponents as the legacy of Sylvester Graham (1794-1851). Graham, the originator of the graham cracker, began his career as a Presbyterian minister and temperance lecturer.

He professed the following.

(a)           Frequent involuntary discharges of semen presage debility.

(b)           Ingestion of improper foods or overeating cause seminal discharges.

(c)           Masturbation brings on pimples and potentially fatal sores.

(d)           Digestion entails an expenditure of vital force.

(e)           Diet is a means of economizing the vital force.

(f)             A diet is healthful if it narrowly prompts the digestive organs to function normally.

According to Hygienic literature, the first hygienic doctor was Isaac Jennings, M.D. (1788-1874), who taught that obedience to physical law facilitates obedience to moral law. Natural Hygiene's principle is that disease is a process of purification and repair. The major Hygienic practices are fasting, food combining, and a form of veganism that emphasizes uncooked foods. Some Professional Natural Hygienists do not subscribe to food combining.

Gerson Therapy (Gerson dietary regime, GDR, Gerson method, Gerson treatment): A state of the art, contemporary, wholistic and natural treatment which assists the body's own healing mechanism, according to the Gerson Institute, in Bonita, California.

The Gerson Therapy involves sodium restriction, potassium supplementation, extreme fat restriction, periodic protein restriction, and coffee enemas. The institute promotes the Gerson Therapy as a preventative lifestyle and a virtual panacea. German-born Max B. Gerson, M.D. (1881-1959) originated the method in the 1920s. His book, A Cancer Therapy: Results of Fifty Cases, first published shortly after his death, is the acknowledged bible of the Gerson Therapy. The fifth edition of the book includes the following statements.

(a)           In man, there are electrical potentials outstanding in the life of the cells. They are especially accumulated in the nervous system, which is ultimately our 'spiritual organ'.... (p. 12)

(b)          In the nutritional field, observations for centuries have shown that people who live according to natural methods in which plants, animals and human beings are only fragments of the eternal cycle of Nature do not get cancer. (p. 14)

(c)           ...[N]ot one factor alone or a combination of single factors is [therapeutically] decisive, but what is decisive is how they influence the whole body, mind and soul in their entirety. (p. 18)

(d)           Above all we must realize that there is nothing in heaven or on earth that does not exist in man himself. We can say, therefore, that the system which governs the human being itself is 'Great Nature.' (p. 49)

(e)           In order to deal with the harmful things which we have to use to our disadvantage, the Lord gave us an alchemist (stomach) not to absorb the poisons that we eat together with the good nourishing food, but to separate it from the favorable substances. (p. 49)

(f)             * For the things that one does for the prolongation of one's life are ordained by Great Nature. (p. 49)

Enneagram system (Enneagram, Enneatype system): System of spiritual psychology based on an ancient Sufi typology of nine (ennea in Greek) personality types or primary roles:

(1)           the achiever (reformer) - orderly, rational, and self-righteous;

(2)           the helper - generous, manipulative, and possessive;

(3)           the succeeder (motivator, status-seeker) - ambitious, hostile, and pragmatic;

(4)           the individualist (artist) - intuitive, self-absorbed, and sensitive;

(5)           the observer (thinker) - analytic, original, and provocative;

(6)           the guardian (loyalist) - defensive, engaging, and responsible;

(7)           the dreamer (generalist) - accomplished and manic;

(8)           the confronter (leader) - combative, dominating, and self-confident; and

(9)           the preservationist (peacemaker) - easygoing and receptive.

Each type has a prime psychological addiction (fixation or blind spot), respectively: anger, pride, deceit, envy, greed, fear, gluttony, lust for life and power, and laziness. These addictions include Christianity's seven deadly sins.

(a)           Recognition of one's type is tantamount to spiritual awakening. in the process of neutralizing the prime addiction:

(b)          achievers become pathfinders,

(c)           helpers become partners, succeeders become motivators,

(d)           individualists become builders,

(e)           observers become explorers,

(f)             guardians become stabilizers,

(g)           dreamers become illuminators,

(h)           confronters become philanthropists, and

(i)             preservationists become universalists.
