Natural hygiene is a term for orthopathy. Both were started by a person that has an article here: Herbert Shelton. That is why it is relevant--otherwise there may as well be a section in his article that this redirects to, but that would be overdoing his article. Also if someone really thinks it means naturopathy, in which case (s)he is completely wrong, then leave the disambiguation. For the reason it is wrong read the orthopathy article.--Dchmelik (talk) 04:48, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] so-called meaning of 'naturopathy or naturopathic medicine'

The orthopathy article explains why Natural Hygiene ('NH,' orthopathy) is not naturopathy. It is a different school of thought, and naturopathy goes against many orthopathic ideas. AFAIK no naturopath or person outside Wikipedia has ever called Natural Hygiene 'naturopathic medicine,' and the idea that they are the same on Wikipedia is just uneducated original research. If you think it NH has ever correctly been used to mean naturopathy then cite the evidence and explain why you think it is proper use of language. It is not and should not be used as a definition--because it does not fit the original definition that is still in use.
