J Armstrong
J. W. Armstrong has written a remarkable treatise in support of his theory that all diseases (except those caused by traumatism or structural defects) can be cured by one means. Orthodox practitioners are mainly concerned with identifying diseases and applying 'treatment' which suppresses the symptoms without eradicating the underlying cause of the malady. But, as the naturopath Louis Kuhne maintained, it is absurd to treat an organ separately - as specialists often do. If an eye is diseased there is something in the body itself which is causing that disease.
The therapy outlined in this book is an entirely drugless system of healing. Moreover the only ingredient is a substance manufactured in the body, rich in mineral salts, hormones, and other vital substances, namely human urine.
It has been argued that it cannot be right to take back into the body something which the body is apparently discarding. Yet this objection ignores the principle of composting as practised by organic gardeners. Rotting dead leaves, when dug back into the soil, provide valuable mineral salts to nourish new plant life. The same principle holds good for the human body.
The book includes details of successful treatment by urine-therapy in cases of the common cold, rheumatism, arthritis, mucus colitis, obesity, prostate trouble, pyorrhoea and many other disorders and diseases.
As a young man during WW1, J W Armstrong was diagnosed as suffering from TB. Following two years of unsuccessful medical treatment, he started a course of urine therapy and was cured within two months. Following this success, he was encouraged to set up his own private practice and includes many of his patients’ remarkable case studies in this book.
