Bruno Groening - A Revolution in Medicine

Address by Bruno Groening on August 31st, 1949 at Traberhof, Rosenheim

"My dear fellow human beings! My sisters and brothers! 

"For many years you all have been seeking help. For many years you have all been seeking your health, which you lost years ago. I know that both here and everywhere people have the same ideas. Wherever I go, the situation is the same. Everybody is seeking help and healing. By this I do not mean to say that the doctors, who perhaps have done everything they can to help you, are bad because they could not do so. No. The doctors do their best to help you. But they are not always able to give everybody the help that is expected. 

"I must make one point clear. It is this: the only doctor, the doctor for all mankind is God. 

"Thousands of years ago man strayed from the path of Nature. He lost faith in God. Everybody believed that he could assert himself as he wished. `Now that we are on earth we will arrange things as it suits us and we will get by' was the general belief. But I tell you that nobody can be helped without the intervention of God. He alone is, and remains, our Father. He alone is, and remains, the Supreme Physician for all mankind. 

"And whoever believes that he can turn away from Nature, which God created in such beauty for humanity, must do as he pleases. The belief was that the individual, who turns his back on Nature and climbs the steps of culture will stand out from the masses. There lies the mistake. That's the point. This is what people lack: Nature. Back to Nature! Back to God, and the conviction of goodness in people! 

"I do not ask the individual for his religious belief or his nationality. What is important is that he has God in his heart. But he who has lost his belief and wants the help of God, must find his way back to faith in God. He who has found the way, and has belief, and feels committed to comply exactly with this belief, to him will help be granted. 

"Time and again I tell people: `Whoever has found his way to me should leave fear, and above all, his money at home [...]. I ask you not to give me the details of your afflictions [...]. 

"I must tell you and I am sure you will agree with me. In the past the hospitals were filled with sick people. Today one can no longer differentiate between hospitals and homes because they are all filled with sick people. Today there are only hospitals. In every residence where people feel at home, there are sick people. This must stop, and we are doing our best to put an end to it. I would like you to know that many doctors have agreed to cooperate in this great, Divine task. 

"I would welcome it if we had their total commitment, so that people could be helped and healed, and the misery would end; not only for one nation, but for all nations, for all mankind. 

"You are all familiar with one little word: egotism. Man should only be an egotist once in his life and that is when he attunes himself to absorb his lost treasure, his health, once again [...]. 

"He must not cling to his illnesses, not think about them all the time, but relax. He should ask himself: `What is going on in my body [...]'? 

"I am not the one who is responsible for healing. If you feel that my words are addressed to you and that you are entitled to receive God's help, then, in the name of God, this will occur."5
