Explained: Are Medicines in Conformity with the Constructive Principle in Nature?

Imagine your body as a brilliant self-healing garden. True medicines isn’t about forcing plants to grow with chemicals – it’s about removing weeds and nourishing the soil so life can flourish naturally.

In Nature Cure, we ask:

• Does this “medicine” work with my body’s wisdom?
• Or does it override or harm my inner healer?

The best remedies don’t fight symptoms – they strengthen, cleanse, and feed at the deepest level.

“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”

Hippocrates

Insight

“Your grandmother’s Vegetable soup heals better than lab-made pills because your cells recognize it as LIFE.”

• Example:
  • Antibiotic side effects → Gut damage
  • Garlic’s natural antibiotics → Kills germs + feeds microbiome

Your First Step

Try this today: “The 3-Question Medicine Test”
Before taking anything, ask:

1. Could this grow in nature?
2. Will it feed my cells or just block symptoms?
3. Would my great-grandmother recognize this as healing?

Remember: Your body speaks the language of sunlight and herbs – not synthetic chemicals.

Are Medicines Aligned with Nature’s Healing Principle?

Statement:
Medicines are in conformity with the constructive principle in Nature insofar as they, in themselves, are not injurious and destructive to the human organism and insofar as they act as tissue foods and promote the neutralization and elimination of morbid matter and poisons.

Nature Cure’s View on Medicines

Medicines are not inherently bad – but most modern drugs fail Nature’s test because they:

• Suppress symptoms (block fevers, stop diarrhea) instead of aiding healing
• Have toxic side effects (damage liver, gut, etc.)
• Create dependency (mask problems rather than fix them)

True “natural medicines” meet 3 criteria:

1. Cause No Harm

• Example:
  • Chemical laxatives → Damage intestinal nerves
  • Psyllium husk → Gently cleanses bowels with fiber

2. Nourish Tissues (Act as Food)

• Example:
  • Antacids → Disrupt stomach acid long-term
  • Aloe vera juice → Soothes + heals gut lining

3. Aid Safe Detox

• Example:
  • Fever reducers → Trap infections inside
  • Elderberry syrup → Boosts sweat/immune cleanup

When Medicines Work Against Nature

Conventional Approach	Nature’s Way
Antibiotics (kill gut flora)	Probiotics (rebuild flora)
Statins (force cholesterol down)	Omega-3s (balance lipids naturally)
Painkillers (mask joint pain)	Turmeric (reduce inflammation)

Think: “Does this help my body’s OWN healing? Or override it?”

Best “Natural Medicines”

1. Herbs (ginger, chamomile, garlic etc.)
2. Foods (Vegetable broth, honey, veggies Etc.)
3. Elements (sunlight, clean water, fresh air Etc.)

Why They Work:

• Provide nutrients cells recognize
• Support organs (liver, kidneys) instead of straining them
• No “side effects” – only side benefits

Key Takeaway For You

Medicines can align with Nature – if they assist the body’s wisdom rather than fight it.

Ask Before Taking Anything:

1. Is this as close to food as possible?
2. Will it help my body detox or just hide waste?
3. Could my grandmother have made this from her garden?
