Henry G. Bieler

Henry G. Bieler (April 2, 1893 – October 11, 1975) was an American physician and germ theory denialist, best known for his book ''Food is Your Best Medicine'', which advocated the treatment of disease with foods. He is widely recognized as a pioneer in alternative medicine who used non-pharmaceutical, diet-based therapies to treat his patients. Bieler opposed the use of any drugs, including aspirin.

Bieler argued there was only one disease called "toxemia" which he blamed for all human ills. He believed that when people stopped poisoning themselves with high-calorie foods, the body would heal itself. Bieler rejected the germ theory of disease and his ideas were rejected by medical experts as quackery. Provided by Wikipedia
