Origins of Naturopathic Medicine, the first of a twelve volume series entitled The Hevert Collection: In Their Own Words, returns to print prominent contributors to the journals published by Benedict Lust between 1900 and 1923. Topics in this first volume include the medical laws of Naturopathy, discussions of therapies, descriptions of health resorts and clinics founded, colleges and school needs, medical legislations of the time, legal issues faced, strategies to discredit Naturopathy, issues of medical freedom, Convention business, physical therapy, and much more. Many illustrations and an index are included. Benedict Lust (1872-1945) at the age of 29 had already founded North America's first School of Naturopathic Medicine in New York City (1901). From 1896 to his death, his journal, The Naturopath and Herald of Health, provided a sophisticated, widely utilized forum for the Naturopathic profession in the early 20th century and helped to establish the educational foundation and framework for the naturopathic profession. Organized and selected by Sussanna Czeranko, ND, The Hevert Collection gives readers access to the issues which were faced by the early Naturopaths and which shaped and coalesced the profession, preparing those who followed these extraordinary pioneers to endure many obstacles. Many valuable lessons from this restored literature guide and teach us a century later-when many of the same issues continue.

Origins of Naturopathic Medicine

The purpose of philosophy in the practice of naturopathic medicine is to think as a Naturopath. This book, Philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine, lays out the foundation for clear naturopathic thinking. In choosing the philosophy of naturopathic medicine, the Naturopath recognizes that nature is inherently wise and that abiding by its laws one reinforces and sustains individual health and sanity. The naturopathic movement was founded by pioneer Benedict Lust and led by him through fifty years of publishing advocacy and patient care. He wrote, collected, edited and published several thousand substantial articles on every conceivable naturopathic medical subject. This title, which focuses on the philosophy of naturopathic medicine, represents a unique collection of the Lust journals, previously housed in locked cabinets in The Rare Book Room at National College of Natural Medicine but now available to everyone as part of an extraordinary and accessible twelve book series-The Hevert Collection: In Their Own Words.

Philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine

What we choose to eat is arguably the most important factor in producing and sustaining health.  Diet was a cornerstone for the early Naturopaths as they charted their course for health reform.  Dietetics of Naturopathic Medicine reviews the writing of these early Naturopaths who scrupulously examined and documented the role of diet and food.  As important today as when these pioneers first brought forward their discoveries into clinical practice, their dietetic knowledge is a precious resource for the modern Naturopath. The Rare Book Room at National College of Natural Medicine houses the unique collection of journals published by Benedict Lust in the last century.  Through fifty years of advocacy and patient care, this naturopathic champion wrote, collected, edited and published several thousand substantial articles on every conceivable naturopathic medical subject.  Culling this rich landscape of seminal articles, Dr. Sussanna Czeranko, ND, Rare Book Room Curator, has created an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind resource called The Hevert Collection: In Their Own Words, a twelve book series that reintroduces the roots of the medicine to modern Naturopaths. Our bodies are masters of self-healing, long verified in Physiology as 'homeostasis'.  Yet, day after day thousands of unhealed men and women trudge off to doctors' offices seeking medicines to soothe their complaints.  Many of these medicaments, though, have led to even greater predicaments.  For hundreds of years Nature minded doctors have taught that foods and herbs, when misused, can harm, but when used appropriately will heal.  Sussanna Czeranko, ND,has taken the best from this vast literature of the Lust journals and made it available for modern ND's and their patients.  We can all benefit from the cumulative wisdom and pearls of the many early naturopathic doctors in these pages.   Enjoy this wealth of nutritional insight.            -Jonn Matsen, ND, Author of Eating Alive, Secrets To Great Health and Eating Alive II The founders of Naturopathic medicine understood that a vegetarian-based diet was one of the cornerstones of their practice.  Students and practitioners from all healing disciplines will greatly benefit from this historical and informative text.  A vegetarian diet is not a new fad but the basis of achieving optimal health and well being.       -Dr. Bruce Canvasser, ND, NCNM 1978 Dr. Sussanna Czeranko's Dietetics of Naturopathic Medicine dives deeply into the historical literature of our great master Naturopaths, reintroducing us to the most simple, but most important and profound, dietary rules for creating and maintaining health.  Sussanna provides us with a fascinating view of how dietary evolution into the processing and chemicalization of food is what has brought us into an awful state of disease.  She helps us understand that dietary logic was implemented decades ago and that the core diet suggestions from a century ago parallel, and even complement, many of the suggestions we make today as Naturopathic Physicians.   -Jessica Black, ND, NCNM 2002, Author of The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe Book, Co-author, Living With Crohn's And Colitis

Dietetics of Naturopathic Medicine

Why Naturopaths do what they do is determined by a set of principles anchored in clinical experience and guided by successful clinical results. The fourth volume of the Hevert Collection, Principles of Naturopathic Medicine distills from a rich literature the principles that propelled the early Naturopaths to take a different path from those around them. All spoke in a unified voice, proclaiming that Nature must be respected and acknowledged, especially if healing was the objective. The human body's intelligence to restore vitality and health was a principle that the early Naturopaths knew and believed with absolute conviction. They knew that the self-regulating powers of Nature were beyond the powers of men, and that to think otherwise was simply folly, and even arrogant. Healing occurred when the body's own processes were supported rather than suppressed. They knew this. They practiced from these principles. The Hevert Collection: In Their Own Words restores to the profession an abundant literature, featuring the guiding principles of Naturopathy. Culling through this rich landscape of seminal articles, Dr. Sussanna Czeranko, ND, NCNM's Rare Book Room Curator, has lovingly and professionally created this twelve book series, reintroducing the roots of the medicine to modern Naturopaths. "Despite a century of economic, political and social oppression by the AMA, naturopathic medicine kept alive in the culture the principles of health promotion, healthful living and natural healing-principles now widely accepted as the only cure for the healthcare crisis. Dr. Czeranko's remarkable series of historic books captures how these important concepts became recognized and evolved to inspire truly curative medicine." - Joe Pizorrno, ND (NCNM 1975), Author, Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Textbook of Natural Medicine. Editor-in-Chief, Integrative Medicine, A Clinician's Journal "This book introduces us to many early 20th Century naturopathic doctors and explains how they put the principles of naturopathy into action to support the healing process of their patients. Principles of Naturopathic Medicine is an important book for our profession, not only because of its historical value, but also because it is inspiring in its many perspectives on harmonious, healthy living that are sorely needed in today's drug-dominated world." - Helen C. Healy, ND (NCNM Class of 1983) served as President of the Minnesota Association of Naturopathic Physicians and the Speaker of the House of Delegates for the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians "The principles of our medicine guide us unerringly to the remedies our patients need in order to truly heal and regain health. We are stewards of this wonderful system of healing, and the wisdom of our elders in applying these principles stands for all time as the road map for us to deliver the care that is so desperately needed in our time." - Dr. Neil McKinney, BSc, ND (NCNM 1985) Author, Naturopathic Oncology - an Encyclopaedic Guide for Patients and Physicians

The Fortunate Few is first and foremost a book about the men and women who volunteered their time and skills to improve the lives of millions through the International Voluntary Services (IVS) in Asia, Africa, Central America and South America. Here, nearly one hundred of these volunteers speak about their service years and the impact their work had on their futures and the people they served, often at great cost to themselves. Nearly a dozen volunteers died, victims of the armed conflict that raged across Southeast Asia with the war in Vietnam. They share how John F. Kennedy's assassination affected them, and we read their attempts to offset war policies under Presidents Johnson and Nixon with letters to Congress and records of their direct experiences of Southeast Asian peoples. These men and woman countered The Ugly American image and many are able to see the effects of their work today. Everyone interested in the history of American development efforts-from the Thomasites' work in the Philippines to projects initiated by IVS in the Andes- will value The Fortunate Few in their libraries. Everyone interested in the rewards of volunteerism and the history of how IVS effectiveness would eventually lead to the creation of a number of other international volunteer agencies, including the Peace Corps, will find inspiration and humanitarian confirmation in this record. "The Fortunate Few chronicles the special place that IVS occupies in the history of the volunteer movement. It is essential reading for anyone working in the humanitarian field, all of whom owe a debt of gratitude to this remarkable organisation. " -Alicia Silva Ritchie, Former Senior Manager, Inter-American Development Bank "IVS placed almost 1,400 idealistic young people in development projects in forty countries. The IVS story as an organization, its various programs, and its historical shifts is complex and has yet to be told in full. This volume is an inspiring step in the right direction." -Paul Rodell, Professor of History, Georgia Southern University

Sussanna Czeranko's Practice of Naturopathic Medicine, fifth in the NCNM Press twelve-volume Hevert Collection series, reintroduces a complete and classic foundation for the modern 21st century Naturopathic physician. Here we find comfort, guidance, and strength in the observations and practices of our founding fathers. Dr. Czeranko's scholarship brings it back beautifully: nature cure, water cure, homeopathy, iridology, phrenology, snow walking, breathing cures, kinesiology, surgery, allopathic medicine, electricity and much more. Foundational theory and cure, accurately and comprehensively reintroduced. -Joel D. Wallach, BS (Agriculture), DVM, ND (NCNM 1982), Author of Dead Doctors Don't Lie, and Epigenetics Practice of Naturopathic Medicine provides a rich sampling of therapies that the early pioneering Naturopaths used to guide their patients to renewed and sustainable health. These articles, chosen from Benedict Lust publications spanning 1899 to1923, demonstrate the eclectic scope of their vision and celebrate what was possible therapeutically when using essentially what Nature provided: air, water, sun, earth, diet, exercise and breathing. As these pioneers introduced new methods, these core elements of naturopathic medicine never failed to be the mainstay of the armamentarium. When we have confidence in the healing power of Nature and when we rediscover the profound value of Nature's bounty, our practice accumulates case histories with stunning results. As you read these accounts of naturopathic practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reproduced here "in their own words", remember to grasp the passion and earnest desire of these early Naturopaths to choose the bounty of Nature, above all else, as the platform for their treatments. In Practice of Naturopathic Medicine we encounter our naturopathic elders with a professional intimacy that familiarizes us with the therapies they used to counter disease. Re-entering their world gives us pause to marvel at their heroic efforts to bring health to all of their patients. Their words teach us; they are rich pearls for us to this very day. Dr. Czeranko is clear. We must reclaim and protect the fundamental philosophies, teachings and practice of naturopathic medicine before they are no longer ours. Increasingly, patients value what our detractors formerly did not and increasingly now wish to appropriate. This book is a tool which will touch the hearts of patients and naturopathic physicians, because it preserves our simple, powerful healing art for future generations. Dr. Czeranko helps us remain inspired to hold fast to that which originally called us to choose naturopathic medicine. I am deeply inspired by her voice for our profession! -Lori Blankenship, ND (NCNM 2004)
