Choosing the topic of conversation was a tossup between health and technology. Health was my ultimate pick because my Mother is a nurse and I wanted to do some research on something like what Mom does on a daily basis. Little did I know that the person wouldn’t have anything to do with health in this century. Still, J.H. Kellogg is an interesting person and his footprint in the health industry is vast. My first place to find information was in the course mind map. Looked at all of the links and printed everything out. When I started reading my sources I knew nothing of J.H Kellogg. I thought being that it was health that he was a doctor, but it’s more than just that. J.H. Kellogg, although a doctor was very much into religion. Not until you read further on do you realize just how big of a part the religion and church play in Dr. Kellogg’s life along with the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Seventh-day Adventist ran the sanitariums health principles. He had a lot of different principles, some governed by the church and others were his own personal views. Another interesting thing was that he is renowned for his development of corn flakes. He also patented a process for making peanut butter that he called granose biscuits. One very disturbing thing that he did was that he took drastic measures on sex and even went as far as to mutilating the boys and girls. Awful and reminds you of what Africa does to “fix” boys and girls at a young age. Other links that I found was titled questionable medicine, another one fable or foe, website of Dr. Kellogg’s home in Battle Creek, MI. Also information about nutrition describing vegetarianism, photos of Dr. Kellogg and his family in Battle Creek. The_20Blind_20Man_20Who_20Taught_20Himself_20to_20See.doc Via course mindmap
