While Ellen White did not specifically address "vaccination" in the provided texts, her writings on health emphasize the importance of avoiding the use of drugs and relying on natural remedies and hygienic practices for the prevention and cure of disease.
She states: "But drugging should be forever abandoned; for while it does not cure any malady, it enfeebles the system, making it more susceptible to disease" (
5T 311.1). She also advises, "Drug medication, as it is generally practised, is a curse. Educate away from drugs, use them less and less, and depend more upon hygienic agencies. Nature will respond to God's remedies,—pure air, pure water, proper exercise, and a clear conscience" (
HL 246.4).
Her counsel consistently points to a lifestyle of temperance, cleanliness, proper diet, exercise, and pure air as safeguards against illness. For example, "Morning exercise, in walking in the free invigorating air of heaven, ... is the surest safe-guard against colds, coughs, congestions of the brain and lungs, ... and a hundred other diseases" (
HL 210.3).
Based on her principles, the emphasis is on strengthening the body's natural defenses and avoiding substances that might weaken the system.
