Hitler’s Herbalism

The Third Reich was investigating and promoting alternative and traditional treatments for treating disease, shifting away from allopathic medicine. There is actually not a great deal of information on this subject, perhaps because it does not paint the “Nazis” in an evil light. The government actually cared about the health and welfare of its people, unlike the Zionist Occupied Governments we have today.

Heinrich Himmler was one of the big proponents of herbalism, along with other practices such as yoga. Hitler, Himmler, and Hess were all vegetarians, who obviously believed consuming plants was key to achieving optimal health, along with moral reasons for not eating animals. Many of the things they believed in, such as organic farming, would not become popular for many decades after Germany’s defeat in WWII, and are now considered “progressive.”

There is an article I found on PubMed titled ‘Neue Deutsche Heilkunde’: complementary/alternative medicine in the Third Reich.

The aim of this article is to discuss complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) in the Third Reich. Based on a general movement towards all things natural, a powerful trend towards natural ways of healing had developed in the 19(th)century. By 1930 this had led to a situation where roughly as many lay practitioners of CAM existed in Germany as doctors. To re-unify German medicine under the banner of ‘Neue Deutsche Heilkunde’, the Nazi officials created the ‘Heilpraktiker’ – a profession which was meant to become extinct within one generation. The ‘flag ship’ of the ‘Neue Deutsche Heilkunde’ was the ‘Rudolf Hess Krankenhaus’ in Dresden. It represented a full integration of CAM and orthodox medicine. An example of systematic research into CAM is the Nazi government’s project to validate homoeopathy. Even though the data are now lost, the results of this research seem to have been negative. Even though there are some striking similarities between today’s CAM and yesterday’s ‘Neue Deutsche Heilkunde’ there are important differences. Most importantly, perhaps, today’s CAM is concerned with the welfare of the individual, whereas the ‘Neue Deutsche Heilkunde’ was aimed at ensuring the dominance of the Aryan race.

We can ensure the dominance of the Aryan race through herbalism? Awesome!
