Appendicitis: The etiology, hygenic and dietetic treatment explores the physiological and dietary aspects of appendicitis while critiquing the conventional medical approaches of its time. The book examines the underlying causes of the condition, linking them to violations of natural health laws and improper living habits. It provides detailed insights into the structure and function of the appendix, illustrating how lifestyle, hygiene, and diet play crucial roles in both the prevention and treatment of appendicitis.

Author Information

J. H. Tilden was a physician and medical reformer known for advocating natural hygiene and dietary health as foundations for disease prevention and recovery. Born in the 19th century to parents whose names remain undocumented in public records, Tilden developed a medical philosophy that rejected conventional drug-based treatments in favor of natural healing. He believed that most diseases, including chronic and acute conditions, stem from toxemia-an accumulation of toxins in the body caused by improper diet and lifestyle. His medical practice and writings emphasized fasting, rest, and proper nutrition as essential to restoring the body's natural balance. Tilden's approach stood in contrast to the medical establishment of his time, which often relied on invasive treatments and medication. Through his lectures, journals, and books, he sought to educate both professionals and the public about the importance of self-care, discipline, and natural living. His ideas contributed to the development of early naturopathic and holistic medicine, influencing later health movements that prioritize prevention over cure.
