1. Introduction

Just the other day, while driving across Tucson, we were listening to the comments of Dr. Tony Grant, Ph.D., a well-known psychologist. Dr. Grant remarked that she often gets quite disturbed because medical doctors so often try to advise their patients on matters that rightfully should be referred to a trained psychologist. She went on to say that medical doctors receive little or no training in psychology and that, therefore, they are really not competent to offer advice in that very specialized discipline.

We Hygienists have that complaint, too. Medical doctors, as a group, have little or no training in nutrition. They know nothing of the real nature of disease, nor of how to activate the powerful healing forces resident within the living body. In fact, they have an untrue and totally unscientific foundation for their whole methodology.

In the treatment of diseases of the hair and scalp, we feel especially frustrated because, as a group, persons experiencing diseases in these areas are often subjected to years of senseless tinkering at great expense without any improvement in health of either the localized disorder or within the total body structure. On the other hand, when these same patients are once introduced to the principles of Natural Hygiene and begin faithfully to apply them in their own lives, they often are amazed to find healing taking place, often within a very few weeks.

All persons are much aware of how important it is to possess a fine head of healthy hair. An abundant crop of hair possessing body and sheen is a mark of health and beauty which sets members of both sexes and both the old and the young apart from the crowd. In this lesson we will learn the beauty secrets of the ages. We will learn how to care for the hair the only truly scientific way, the Hygienic way.
