Every philosophic movement has its literary cornerstones, and the modern day Natural Hygiene movement is no exception.
Dr. Shelton’s seven-volume Hygienic System, which he began crafting in 1934, indisputably serves as the literary foundation upon which the modern day Natural Hygiene movement is based. In reprinting The Science and Fine Art of Food and Nutrition, the National Health Association
is fulfilling an important part of its fundamental commitment to keeping the most valuable
historical texts of Natural Hygiene in print.
The three volumes of the Hygienic System which the National Health Association has brought back into print: Vol. I The Science and Fine Art of Natural Hygiene, Vol. II The Science and Fine Art of Food and Nutrition, and Vol. III The Science and Fine Art of Fasting, are the most important works in the series. They describe the basic foundation upon which this profound health system is built. Subsequent volumes were more narrowly focused and are of a limited interest.
