Dr. Bernarr shouldn't present himself as a representative of Natural
Hygiene. NH recommendations are not particularly paleo, however the
underlying concepts and philosophy of hygiene are, in my opinion, very
sound and solid. And by the way, NH is not at all just about eating and
food. It encompasses other aspects of health as equally important, (namely
sleep, physical activity, and emotional well-being, including an emphasis
on non-proseletyzing, and learning to fit in with your neighbors and
families who may not eat like you do).

I'd shudder to think that anyone might assume that Natural Hygiene was
anything like Dr. Bernarr.

Love, Liza
