The Health Reform and the Health Institute addresses both health reform principles and the operation of Adventist health institutions (sanitariums). This combined pamphlet presents philosophy and practical application. Topics typically covered include: health reform's biblical and scientific foundations, specific reforms (dietary changes, exercise, natural remedies, avoiding harmful substances), establishing and operating health institutions, maintaining spiritual atmosphere in medical facilities, training workers in medical missionary methods, and using health work as entering wedge for gospel. The pamphlet emphasized that health institutions should differ from worldly medical facilities by treating whole person, using natural methods primarily, maintaining spiritual focus, and viewing healing as missionary work. Counsel guided both personal health reform and institutional medical ministry.
