This book holds a unique place in the history of natural hygiene. It is a book for all times, all seasons, and all people. It was the first book to give detailed historical and practical credit to most all of the brilliant pioneers who were responsible for establishing the foundations for orthopathy.

In presenting this volume on fasting I am well aware of existing prejudices against the procedure. It has long been the practice to feed the sick and to stuff the weak on the theory that “the sick must eat to keep up their strength.” It is very unpleasant to many to see long established customs broken, and long cherished prejudices set at naught, even when a great good is to be achieved. “Shall we not respect the accumulated wisdom of the three thousand years?,” ask the defenders of the regular school and their feeding and drugging practices. Where, we ask, is the wisdom for us to respect? We see little more than an accumulation of absurdities and barbarities. “The accumulated wisdom of three thousand years!” Look at sick humanity around you; look at the mortality reports; look at generation after generation cut off in the very spring-time of life, and then talk of wisdom or science! In this volume we offer you real wisdom and true science—we offer you the accumulated wisdom of many thousands of years, wisdom that will still be good when the mass of weakening, poisoning and mischief-inflicting methods of regular medicine are forgotten.

Food Combining Made Easy was originally published during the 1940s. It became the leading primer for almost 60 years for anyone wanting guidance on which foods should and should not be eaten at the same meal. Shelton presents information on the processes of normal digestion and examines why combinations of acids, fats, starches, sugars, and proteins disrupt these processes. This new edition has been slightly revised to reflect Shelton's vegetarian leanings.
