“AaaOn February 11, 1951, the Central Association of Physicians for Nature Cure Methods (Zentralverband der Ärzte für Naturheilverfahren) was formed with Brauchle as its first president. He maintained his private practice in Schönenberg near Schönau in the Black Forest from 1960 until his death on November 21, 1964. Brauchle had been a member of the Research Council of the Emerson University, Los Angeles; Honorary Member of the”

“Aaaprinciple of contrast was Rikli's most original contribution to nature cure philosophy. Monotony in treatment methods meant atony, stagnation and death. Priessnitz had best results when he used the contrast principle by having his patients sweat before receiving cold water applications. Without variety, Rikli believed, there could be no enlivening, strengthening or development. For him, polarity influenced all phenomena of life—the polarity of cold and warmth, night and day, rain and sunshine, summer and winter. "These atmospheric changes reflect natural laws and are absolutely necessary as stimuli for the plants, animals and humans living on earth." Changes are necessary in the atmospheric realm and in everyday life. Rikli believed that every change in lifestyle provoked a "new movement" and therefore had curative effects. Thus, even changes on the emotional level in the form of entertainment, music, dance and enjoyment of beautiful natural sights were needed to balance the monotony of everyday life. "The truth," Rikli noted, "lies in the observance of these contrasts" (Brauchle, 1951, 212)”

Rainer Maria Rilke
“That your world is in agony is no reason to turn your back on it, or to try to escape into private “spiritual” pursuits. Rilke reminded me that I had the strength and courage to walk out into the world as into my own heart, and to “love the things / as no one has thought to love them” (I, 61).”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

“AaaIt would be much simpler if human existence could be neatly divided into tight compartments, and if ‘a disease’ were a real and separate thing which just happened to be superimposed upon an innocent body through a series of unfortunate chances. No matter how high a proportion of the public believe this, it is still an utter fallacy, and I particularly like the reply made by a Naturopath who received a mildly sarcastic letter which included the query:-“I suppose you can do nothing with nephritis?” He wrote back:- “Send me the nephritis by registered post and I guarantee to dispose of it”.”
