“The Crime of Vaccination,” written by Dr. Benedict Lust in 1926, critiques the practices surrounding vaccination, arguing against its safety and efficacy. Dr. Lust, a prominent figure in alternative medicine, presents vaccination as a misguided public health strategy that poses more risks than benefits. He draws on various anecdotes, case studies, and his interpretations of medical literature to support his claims, suggesting that vaccinations can lead to various health issues rather than preventing diseases.
Throughout the book, Lust advocates for natural healing methods and emphasizes the importance of holistic approaches to health. He questions the motivations behind widespread vaccination campaigns, hinting at potential conflicts of interest within the medical community. The text reflects the anxieties of the time regarding medical interventions and serves as a foundational work in the anti-vaccine movement, promoting skepticism towards conventional medical practices.
The book is aimed at encouraging readers to reconsider the accepted norms regarding vaccination and seek alternative health solutions.
” Dr. Benedict Lust (1872–1945), the “Father of Naturopathy” in America. He was a trailblazer in natural healing, strongly opposing conventional medicine.
After he recovered from illness through hydrotherapy in Germany, he brought these principles to the U.S., founding the American School of Naturopathy in 1901 and the American Naturopathic Association in 1919.
Dr. Lust was a very vocal critic of “injections” and authored the book ‘Vaccination: Its Fallacies and Evils’ (1912), exposing what he saw as the dangers and inefficacy of “injections”, advocating instead for the body’s natural healing power through diet, exercise and water cures.
Despite his numerous arrests for practicing without a license, he published works like ‘Nature’s Path’ and the ‘Universal Naturopathic Encyclopedia’, inspiring those of us who champion naturopathic wisdom over pHARMa reliance.
He knew the truth, just as others did!”
