Dr. William Howard Hay (1866-1940)
[Dr
Hay was a New York doctor, author, lecturer, and founder of The East
Aurora Sun and Diet Sanatorium.
A traditional physician for the
first 16 years of his career, this New York doctor introduced the world to food
combining, ran a successful sanatorium for many years (The East Aurora Sun and
Diet Sanatorium), and was a renowned lecturer on health topics.
He graduated from the New York
University Medical College in 1891 and spent 16 years in regular medicine and
surgery, specializing in surgery. He later developed Bright's Disease, and was
unable to cure it using accepted medical methods of the time. This led him to
find alternative methods to rid himself of disease. He came
across the Natural Hygiene concept of food combining (also known as the
Dr. Hay diet), the idea that certain foods require an acid pH environment in
digestion, and other foods require an alkaline pH environment, and that both
cannot take place at the same time, in the same environment. After curing
himself through proper diet, he wrote several books, started a sanatorium, and
lectured throughout United States and Canada.]

Quotes
"As a matter of fact, perhaps it is safe to say that not more than 10
per cent of the people ever would take smallpox if sleeping in the same bed with an
infected smallpox victim."--Dr Hay
"I have had in my own experience one very small epidemic comprising 33 (smallpox) cases of which 29 had vaccination histories and a good scar, and some of them vaccinated within the last year. There was no protection there."--[1937 Dec] Address of William Howard Hay, M.D., Pocono, PA., on June 25, 1937, before The Medical Freedom SocietyTuesday, December 21, 1937
