Comments: The correct application of the normal elements of life----> pure water, pure fresh air, wholesome raw foods, rest and sleep, exercise, emotional poise, and positive social contact according to the following laws of life, will serve to preserve health and restore it to those who have lost it.
1. Life's Great Law- Every particle of living matter in the body is endowed with an instinct of self preservation, sustained by an inherent force in the organism called vital force or living force. The success of each particle's work is directly in proportion to the amount of the force and inversely to the degree of its activity
2. The Law of Action- Whenever action occurs in the living organism, as the result of extraneous influences, the action must be ascribed to the living thing which has the power of action, and not to the dead whose leading characteristic is inertia.
3. The Law of Power- The power employed, and consequently expended, in any vital or medicinal action is vital power, that is, power from within and not from without.
4. The Law of Distribution- The power of the body, whether more or less, is distributed in a manner proportionate to the importance of needs of the various organs and tissues of the body
5. The Law of Dual Effect- The secondary effect upon the living organism of any act, habit, indulgence, or agent is the exact opposite and equal to the primary effect.
6. The Law of Limitation- Whenever and wherever the expenditure of vital power had advanced so far that a fatal exhaustion is imminent, a check is put upon the unnecessary expenditure of power and the organism rebels against the further use of even an accustomed stimulant.
7. The Law of Special Economy- The vital organism under favorable conditions stores up all excess of vital funds above the current expenditures as a reserve fund to be employed in time of special need.
8. The Law of Vital Accomodation (Nature's Balance Wheel)- The response of the vital organism to external stimuli is an instinctive one, based upon a self-preservative instinct which adapts itself to whatever influence it cannot destroy or control.
9. The Law of Stimulation- Whenever any toxic or irritating agent is brought to bear upon the living organism this action occasions vital resistance which manifests itself in an action at once accelerated and impaired. This resistance diminishes the power of action precisely to the degree which it accelerates action. The increased action is caused by the extra expenditure of vital power called out, not supplied, by the compulsory process. In consequence, the available supply of power is diminished by this amount.
10. The Law of Repose- Whenever action in the body has expended the substance and available energy of the body, rest is induced in order to replenish the body's substance and energy.
"We expect to see the sun rise and set, a seed to sprout and grow,water to run downhill, chemical reactions to take place, all in accord with exact law. We do not expect to gather grapes from rose bushes nor figs from thistles. Is there less reason to expect that man should obey the laws of his being? Shall we not expect him to have health in precise ratio to his obedience?" H. Shelton, 1968, ch.6
