About this Item
Description:
no date, presumed circa 1970s. Illustrated wraps. 32 pp. A few illustrations throughout. A book focusing on nutrition and alternative diets for proper health and longevity. The focus is on grass, specifically wheatgrass, but other grains are discussed. The work includes testimonials, articles taken from other sources (cherrypicked) and pseudoscientific ideas to promote a diet of grass for what ails a person. Also discussed are pressure points on the feet and spine, with allusions to God throughout. Ann Wigmore was known as a naturopath and raw foods advocate, popularizing a holistic approach to health in the US. She opened the Rising Sun Christianity in Boston as an alternative health center, and after relocating several times, it currently operates in Puerto Rico. Wigmore has been accused of false accreditation and quackery and was sued by the state of Massachusetts in the 1980s because of false claims. GOOD condition. Some staining to the front cover, with rust staining near the staples on the spine. Minor wrinkling and curling to the covers. Small area of loss/tearing along the upper rear fore edge cover. Minor soiling. Seller Inventory # 020398
