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.
