Dr.
Johann Georg Schnitzer was born on June 1, 1930 in Freiburg/Breisgau,
Germany, and grew up in St. Georgen (Black Forest). During
World War II, still at school, he acquired experience in different
professions as a precision mechanic, plumber, carpenter, gardener
and farmer. After he was awarded his Bachelor of Arts in 1950
(Villingen, Black Forest), he studied dentistry in Freiburg
(1950-1954) and acquired his doctor's degree in 1955.
Searching
for possibilities to prevent tooth decay, his main interests
concentrated on sources of natural health and the causes of
civilization's ailments and degeneration. When he discovered
that freshly ground cereals proved to be essential, he constructed
modern household grinders with milling stones.
From
1963 to 1969 Dr. Schnitzer carried out a study in a Black
Forest village, to find out if it is possible to reduce tooth
decay in children by informing the community of the relationship
between dental caries and nutrition. It is! This became well
known as "Aktion Mönchweiler". The medical
monopoly lobbies tried to stop Dr. Schnitzer from his activities
but it was well reported by the media.
In
1966 Dr. Schnitzer was called by Prof. Dr. H. A. Schweigart
to be a member of the scientific board of the International
Society for Research on Nutrition and Vital Substances. Once
he realized that man's adaptation to modern processed foods
was a failure, causing the ailments of civilization, he developed
his "Civilized Origin Nutrition", appropriate to
the original, still active genetic program of man. This healthy,
natural nutrition proved highly effective, preventing and
even curing some "incurable" ailments of civilization,
e.g. documented in the Schnitzer-Report - 4702 Persons
report about their Successes (1974; 548 pages).
In
1978 he developed a therapy for curing diabetes and preventing
it's "later consequences" (e.g. loss of sight, loss
of leg). In his opinion and by his experiences, most of about
33,000 amputations of diabetic patients in Germany could be
avoidable.
In
1985-86, he proved, in a study on leprosy, the intensive curing
efficacy of the "Civilized Origin Nutrition" on
huge leprosy ulcers, which - normally chronic and worsening
- healed up completely after only a few weeks.
In
1987 he published on "Medical Week Baden-Baden"
and in two books (one for patients, one for doctors) a causal
therapy for hypertension, curing it mostly within 6-10 weeks
completely without medicaments.
Facing growing decay and degeneration of the dentition of
his patients, he developed, in 1960, a systematical complete
clinical sanitation treatment, including cure of cariogenic
disposition (preventing further decay). In 1958 he was warning
against the application of amalgam fillings, because of chronic
poisoning danger.
In
1992, ordered by the German Government's Development Institution
on Ethiopian application, he carried out a study for the Ethiopian
Genebank in Addis Ababa on how to optimize the use of East
African food crops for a sufficient and healthy nutrition
of the population. Through this study he improved the health
value of Ethiopian bread (Enjera, made from grass seed T'eff)
and developed recipes for healthy home-made baby food.
Dr.
Schnitzer is the author of approximately 20 books and numerous
studies, essays and articles.
