Benedict Lust's Herald of Health was a foundational organ of American naturopathy, championing drugless healing, natural diet, vegetarianism, breathing exercise and electro-therapeutics against orthodox medicine. Much of its energy went into the movement's legal struggle — rallying 'drugless' practitioners to work in states hostile to their licensing — and into dietary evangelism, as in its fable of the ridiculed 'fruit eater' undergoing internal purification. Threaded through the hygienic program is a real New Thought current: the law of attraction, mental science, prosperity and 'demonstration,' the mind-cure psychology that Lust's circle wove into its physical regimen. A Fowler-style phrenology and a self-help 'success' idiom link it back to the nineteenth-century health-reform tradition. It belongs to the health-reform and alternative-medicine family, with mental-science as its metaphysical companion.
