Por supuesto, aquí tienes citas textuales de los escritos de Elena G. de White sobre cómo deben ser los sanitariums, con énfasis en el método higienista, la comida, el tamaño y la atención al parto:
**1. Método y tratamiento higienista:**
- “Una dieta simple y la ausencia total de drogas, dejando a la naturaleza libre para recuperar las energías gastadas del cuerpo, haría nuestros sanatorios mucho más eficaces en restaurar la salud de los enfermos.” (
HL 248.2)
- “Perfect cleanliness, plenty of sunlight, careful attention to sanitation in every detail of the home life, are essential to freedom from disease and to the cheerfulness and vigor of the inmates of the home.” (
MH 276.5)
**2. Comida higienista:**
- “We were pleasantly surprised to find the table very much the same as at our Sanitarium at Battle Creek. The dishes were simple and healthful, and prepared with a skill and nicety that made them inviting and palatable. There is great need of a more general knowledge of the science of healthful cookery.” (
HS 190.1)
- “We are not building sanitariums for hotels. Receive into our sanitariums only those who desire to conform to right principles, those who will accept the foods that we can conscientiously place before them. Should we allow patients to have intoxicating liquor in their rooms, or should we serve them with meat, we could not give them the help they should receive in coming to our sanitariums. We must let it be known that from principle we exclude such articles from our sanitariums and our hygienic restaurants.” (
7T 95.3)
- “Wherever medical missionary work is carried on in our large cities, cooking schools should be held; and wherever a strong educational missionary work is in progress, a hygienic restaurant of some sort should be established, which shall give a practical illustration of the proper selection and the healthful preparation of foods.” (
7T 55.2)
**3. Tamaño del sanatorio:**
- “Special light has been given me in regard to why we may accomplish much more for the Master by the establishment of many small sanitariums than by the building up of a few large medical institutions. In large institutions there would be gathered together many who are not very sick, but who, like tourists, are seeking rest and pleasure... They would become like those with whom they associate, losing the simplicity and modesty that Christian fathers and mothers have guarded and cherished by careful instruction and earnest prayer.” (
8T 223.5)
**4. Parto y atención a la maternidad:**
- “It is an error generally committed to make no difference in the life of a woman previous to the birth of her children.” (HL 151)
- “The period during which the infant receives its nourishment from the mother, is a critical one. Many mothers, while nursing their infants, have been permitted to overlabor, and to heat their blood in cooking, and the nursling has been seriously affected, not only with fevered nourishment from the mother's breast, but its blood has been poisoned by the unhealthy diet of the mother, which has fevered her whole system, thereby affecting the food of the infant.” (
SA 124.1)
**5. Enseñanza y reforma pro-salud:**
- “Every hygienic restaurant should be a school. The workers connected with it should be constantly studying and experimenting, that they may make improvement in the preparation of healthful foods.” (GW 361)
- “Such a river of life and healing God designs that, by His power working through them, our sanitariums shall be.” (
6T 228.1)
No se encontró una prohibición explícita de que los médicos varones no deban encargarse del parto, pero se enfatiza la importancia de la atención cuidadosa y femenina en la maternidad.
