Answer 1

John Harvey Kellogg,M.D.(February 26, 1852 – December 14, 1943) was an American medical doctor, nutritionist, inventor, health activist, and businessman.He was the director of theBattle Creek SanitariuminBattle Creek, Michigan. The sanitarium was founded by members of theSeventh-day Adventist Church. It combined aspects of a European spa, a hydrotherapy institution, a hospital and a high-class hotel. Kellogg treated both the rich and famous and the poor who could not go to other hospitals.

Disagreements with other members of the church led to a major schism within the denomination: Kellogg was"disfellowshipped" in 1907, but continued to follow many Adventist beliefs and directed the sanitarium until his death in 1943. Kellogg also helped to establish theAmerican Medical Missionary College. TheCollege, founded in 1895, operated until 1910, when it merged withIllinois State University.
