Once upon a time (until about 25-30 years ago) the United States had many well-known and well-frequented spas. Dr. Kellog’s Battle Creek Spa was one of the most familiar ones. Many others were active in Florida, near Chicago and on the West Coast. Most of them were operated by Europeans who migrated from Western Europe and brought with them the experience of similar watering places in the old country. Millions of people visited these spas, took baths or “cures,” and relieved themselves of aches and pains, of arthritis and high blood pressure, of depression and eczema.

But with the advent of the chemical takeover of medicine these spas have now almost completely disappeared from the American scene. An average American wouldn’t think of “tampering” with his health by going to a water cure spa or taking a mineral bath—any more than he would try to improve his health by eating organically grown foods. These things are strictly for the “health nuts”!
