Five decades ago, Ann Wigmore, visionary and humanitarian, founded a concept based on the historic wisdom of our Father of Medicine—Hippocrates-- "Let Food Be Our Medicine." Ann Wigmore and Viktoras Kulvinskas, M.S., a brilliant mind of another kindred spirit, created a integrated institute in Boston, Massachusetts that taught people how to access the power of their vast inner resources to transform the quality of their lives. The commitment to this idea is embodied in what is now the Hippocrates Health Institute of West Palm Beach, Florida.
Wigmore, born in Lithuania, studied her grandmother, the village doctor, treating wounded soldiers with herbs during World War I. She came to the United States as a child and called on those memories in the 1950s to heal herself of colon cancer. Searching out scientific minds, with them she developed a way of life that provides optimal health for all its adherents.
The health experts had no doubts about the beneficial qualities of wheatgrass. Wigmore went on to start a revolution in the world of nutrition that has continued to grow to this day. Her name is synonymous with the history of the natural health movement that has pushed complimentary healthcare measures to the forefront of US and world consciousness.
Brian and Anna Maria Clement, Ph.D., L.N.C. have continued the work of Ann Wigmore and guided the Institute into an era that has seen international acceptance of wheatgrass and the advent of natural approaches to healthcare. Modern research has now established direct links between certain foods and health risks, while authorities in both public and private sectors universally confirm the severe decline of health in western civilization. Hippocrates remains at the forefront of educating people about disease prevention and the affects of positive diet and lifestyle choices.
Teaching that one of the great tragedies of the civilized world is the acceptance of current dietary standards, the Clements teach a living-foods diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. The vegetarian plan supplies the oxygen, enzymes, alkalinity, and bioelectrical charges vital to cellular and general health.
Hippocrates alumni are people from all walks of life who have benefited from these teachings. They tell stories of recovery that were once considered miraculous, but today are becoming commonplace. As we enter the 21st century, the power of the Hippocrates diet to change lives can be validated through scientific research. The Hippocrates Health Institute is available to all persons with health challenges, those who need to energize their lives, and those who want to enjoy a state of vibrant well-being.
