Dr. Ann Wigmore
 Dr.
Ann Wigmore was an expert and advocate for raw nutrition. She wrote
many books on the subject and founded the Hippocrates Institute
in Boston.
Even though she died tragically in a fire in 1993 she changed thousands
of lives and continues to do so with her books on healthy dieting.
She was born in 1909 in Eastern Europe. She learned the benefits
of natural healing at an early age from her grandmother. After World
War I she moved to the United States emmigrating with her family.
In her younger life she had a myriad of health problems and started
eating live foods mostly sprouts and wheatgrass,
which she introduced to America. She first nursed her pets to health
with this diet then herself.
With this new live food diet she sprang back to health as her energy
returned. This transformation was the beginning of her life’s
work as in 1963 she opened the Hippocrates Institute in Boston which
was a program that was sucessful in treating thousands of patients.
She was more of a healer than a doctor as she changed the way her
patients ate urging them to digest a more healty diet.
