Summary

This quote suggests a reconsideration of the revolutionary ideals of the past. It argues that our founding fathers erred in fighting for representation and taxation, instead proposing the idea of representation without taxation. This alternative viewpoint implies that rather than paying taxes to support the government, individuals should have the right to be represented in decision-making processes without financial obligations. The quote challenges the traditional notion of taxation as necessary for the functioning of a democratic society, proposing an alternative perspective on the relationship between representation and financial responsibilities.

The orthodox school has witnessed for centuries that nature itself has never once cured any existing disease with another dissimilar one, however intense. What must we think of this school, which nevertheless has continued to treat chronic diseases allopathically, with medicines and formulas that can only cause a disease condition --God knows which --dissimilar to the one being treated? Even if these physicians have not hitherto observed nature attentively enough, the miserable results of their treatment should have taught them that they were on the wrong road.
