Riassunto

Excerpt from The Foundation of All Reform: A Guide to Health, Wealth and Freedom; A Popular Treatise on the Diet Question

For war and murder, poverty and crime, gluttony and disease, still hold their unabating sway in human society. The mad rush for wealth is absorbing the life-blood of the nations our perverted mor als, the extensive use of poisonous stimulants and narcotics, the often complete ignorance of the laws of nature and health, constantly fill the prisons, poorhouses, hospitals. And lunatic asylums with thou sands Of human wrecks leading a miserable existence until premature death delivers them from their sufferings.

The reason why the old evils continue and why the old errors are handed down from generation to generation, is because we have been ourselves educated in the old traditions, are working under thesame conditions, and are surrounded by the same influences as our ancestors.

But the existing state of things, however discouraging, is never permanent, and the history of evolution shows that all nature works unceasingly for advance. The day is already dawning when it will become clear to every thinking mind that all the misery and mishap of the past will but serve to a better understanding of human nature, that all true progress must come through individual effort and better ment, and that we can never improve the conditions of life by merely overthrowing political and religious systems.

The present treatise shows that diet reform involves the most beneficial changes which everybody can at once begin to work in himself, without waiting for the enactment of legislative measures or a revolution of the social order. Diet reform, which - in a larger sense - means the mental and physical regeneration of the individual, must therefore be the foundation of all reforms tending to the uni versal happiness of mankind, and only by making the unit of society. Healthy and self-providing we shall ever be able to successfully solve the social and economic problems that disturb the world to-day.
