Pure air, sunlight. abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power,- these are the true remedies. Every person should have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies and how to apply them. It is essential both to understand the principles involve in the treatment of the sick and to have a practical training that will enable one rightly to use this knowledge. CD 30
Ellen White: “But few realize the power that the mind has over the body. A great deal of the sickness which afflicts humanity has its origin in the mind and can only be cured by restoring the mind to health” (Mind, Character, and Personality Vol. 2, p. 396; 3T, 184, 1872).
Ellen White: “The mind needs to be controlled, for it has a most powerful influence upon the health. The imagination often misleads, and when indulged, brings severe forms of disease upon the afflicted. Many die of diseases which are mostly imaginary. I am acquainted with several who have brought upon themselves actual disease by the influence of the imagination” (2T, p. 523, 1871).
