Very cool vid Shane. It reminds me ofJohn Harvey Kellogg. (I know! can you believe the inventor of modern cereal was a major advocate for natural healing?) He did get good results with this philosophy. Here is an AI rundown - Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, director of the famous Battle Creek Sanitarium ("the San") from 1876 to 1943, was a staunch advocate of "biologic living," which heavily featured sleeping outside and exposure to fresh air as fundamental healing methods. He believed that natural elements, combined with a strict vegetarian diet and exercise, could cure a wide array of ailments. Wikipedia +4 Sleeping Outside and "Open-Air" Methods - Outdoor Sleeping Porches: Patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium were encouraged to sleep in the open air. The facility featured specialized porches and areas designed for this purpose, allowing patients to breathe fresh, cool air throughout the night. - Cold-Air Treatment: Kellogg believed that exposure to cold air and sunlight was essential for stimulating the skin and strengthening the body. - "Sun-Bathing": Along with sleeping outside, patients were encouraged to engage in sun-bathing and outdoor activities to improve their health. Context of Kellogg's Healing Methods - The Sanitarium Environment: The "San" was designed to feel like a mixture of a luxurious hotel and a medical hospital, where patients were taught to stay well through preventative habits rather than just taking medicine. - Other Natural Treatments: Beside sleeping outdoors, treatments included hydrotherapy (water cures), electric light baths (a cabinet lined with bulbs), vigorous exercise, and strict vegetarian meals. - Preventative Focus: Kellogg's approach, often called "biologic living," was a reaction against the unhealthy diets and lifestyles of the time. "Back in the Day" Context - "The Road to Wellville": This era of intense, nature-based, and sometimes unconventional medical treatment at Battle Creek was portrayed in the book and subsequent film, The Road to Wellville. - Famous Patients: The Sanitarium attracted many well-known figures in the early 20th century, including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and Amelia Earhart, who all participated in these, at the time, cutting-edge "health-building" methods.

@Ben Slattery Yes, I looked into it. It was apparently very effective for many. Cool stuff!

Toxic world. Look at what one company did to the entire world when they invented teflon. There's a great movie about it.
