John Harvey Kellogg was an American medical doctor,nutritionist,inventor,health activist and businessman.He was the director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek,Michigan.The sanitarium was founded by members of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
It combined aspects of a European spa,a hydrotherapy institution,a hospital and a high-class hotel.Kellogg treated both the rich and famous and the poor who could not go to other hospitals.
Disagreements with other members of the church led to a major schism within the sect:Kellogg was “dis fellow shipped” in 1907,but continued to follow many Adventist beliefs and directed the sanitarium until his death in 1943.Kellogg also helped to establish the American Medical Missionary College.The College,founded in 1895,operated until 1910 when it merged with Illinois State University.
