My history of the development of natural health, now has a
definite end point in sight.
Food Faddism in America that took place during the turn of the
20th century is the immediate birth place of natural health,
without a doubt.
John Harvey Kellogg, MD with his "biological living" at the
Battle Creek Sanitarium and his emphasis on diet is probably
the first person that should be clearly associated with
natural health. Kellogg also promoted physical exercise.
Concern with physical culture was likewise developing around
this time period. The concern with eating wholesome food
continued to develop into an interest in vitamins around the
World War I period.
Rather than being associated with a physician-patent
relationship like naturopathy, natural hygiene, and
homeopathy; natural health had a distinctive commercial retail
connection to the commercial sale of health foods products
(such as, corn flakes) and vitamin supplements.
Of course, nature health since its birth has had a lot of
time to develop and grow into something beyond food faddism.
But, natural health is now probably more closely associated
with taking vitamin supplements than it is with eating health
foods products.
Now, it only a matter of finding the time to put it down
in writing.
