Orthopathy
Orthopathy (from the Greek ὀρθός orthos 'right' and πάθος pathos 'suffering') or natural hygiene (NH) is a set of alternative medical beliefs and practices originating from the Nature Cure movement. Proponents claim that fasting, dieting, and other lifestyle measures are all that is necessary to prevent and treat disease.Natural hygiene is an offshoot of naturopathy that advocates a philosophy of 'natural living' that was developed in the early nineteenth century. Natural hygienists oppose drugs, fluoridation, immunization, most medical treatments and endorse fasting, food combining and raw food or vegetarian diets.

Orthopathy
Orthopathy, Natural Hygiene, Life Science, 80/10/10 Diet or Healthology is an alternative medical philosophy and practice originating from the Nature Cure movement. NH includes the idea of vitalism and considers self-healing the only cure for disease: it favours fasting and other lifestyle measures as restorative, and dietary and other lifestyle measures as preventative. There is no evidence from systematic reviews of double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials that supports self-healing as a method for treating severe conditions such as cancer, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular disease. Since the 1900s, hundreds of thousands of medical fasts have been supervised and recorded. It has been shown in many empirical, scientific studies that medical fasting can improve health and eliminate a variety of diseases. Orthopathy is against most mainstream and alternative medical treatment, with the exception of surgery in certain situations, such as for broken bones and to 'remove a deadly secondary cause.' NH is not naturopathy: they differ by philosophical definition and practice.
