About this title

About the Author

Dr. Henry Lindlahr (b.1862 d.1924) took his training in "Nature Cure" in Europe before opening his practice in an office in Chicago in 1902. Eventually the practice expanded to include an administration building and Lindlahr Collegein Chicago to train physicians and nurses in his methods of treatment. Dr. Lindlahr and his staff believed in the Nature Cure which included a vegetarian diet, sunbaths, airbaths, exercise, hydrotherapy, and manipulation. Patients from all over the world came for the Nature Cure at Lindlahr Sanitarium. One of the best-known patients was five-time presidential candidate for the Socialist party, Eugene Debs, who died at Lindlahrs. It was estimated that Dr. Henry Lindlahr treated 80,000 patients during his career. Dr. Henry Lindlahr wrote and lectured extensively about the Nature Cure, which was considered a somewhat unorthodox health program at the time. He authored five volumes on Natural Therapeutics, one of which is Nature Cure (1913) in which he writes about "the philosophy and practice based on the unity of disease and cure." Dr. Lindlahr and his wife, Anna, wrote The Nature Cure Cook Book and ABC of atural Dietetics, which had four printings. Dr. Lindlahr also published ature Cure Magazine. Lindlahr Sanitarium closed in 1928, a few years after Dr. Lindlahr's death.
