Man, the highest creation of God, is, by
divine plan, born healthy and strong. It is when
Nature’s rhythm and cycle are upset that the human
system loses its natural capacity to renew and rejuvenate
itself. Disorders and ailments set in when the
body’s natural processes are strained and impaired
through physical and moral excesses. Prevention of
disease is indeed better than cure. Even if born with
some inherited affliction, the individual can eliminate
it or at least control it by putting to the best use all
the elements available freely in Nature.
Health is ensured by observing the laws of nature. Their
transgression inflicts the justifiable penalty of
suffering and disease. In nature, the beneficial germs
which pre- serve health and make for mental and emotional
well-being are far higher in number than those of
destruction which inflict disease. Hence, given the
opportunity and encouragement to flourish and exert their
influence, these germs can combat the unhealthy ones and
bestow glowing health.
Reasonable care of oneself is worship. Essential health
care ensures an independent, active, fruitful and
fulfilled life while chronic illnesses render man a
troublesome invalid dependent on other’s compassion.
Shri H.K. Bakhru has been contributing articles on
various diseases and their cures through dietetics and
nature cure treatments, which when put into practice can
be of immense benefit to the connoisseur as well as the
layman. The book, appropriately titled ‘ Diet Cure
for Common Ailments’, covers the whole gamut of
ailments which can be cured merely by proper food habits
and regulation of one’s life, without recourse to
medicinal treatment. The book is based on the theories
and fundamentals of Nature Cure that go to preserve
health and vitality and regain these when lost. It will
undoubtedly be a boon not only to laymen but also to
nature cure practitioners as a reference guide because of
its practical utility.
Nature Cure has carved a niche in the realm of Curative
Sciences in our country and abroad, though the
protogonists of the drugless healing system have included
a lot of other unorthodox treatments in their curative
disciplines. Nature Cure, through its correct application
brings about amazing changes that baffle the
practitioners of modern medicine, devoid as it is of the
crippling side-effects of drug treatments. The
all-pervading truth is "Nature alone possesses the
power of healing." There are not many institutions
which cater to this system. Hence, many a patient cannot
take advantage of it. Shri Bakhru’s book will serve
as a useful guide to those who wish to treat themselves
through this system at home.
I highly appreciate the commendable efforts and labour
put in by Shri H.K. Bakhru in compiling this monumental
treatise of immense value to posterity.
