    It’s not disputed he ran a sanitorium. I don’t get it when people online just refute established fact. There is not any debate, there is a historical record, and it’s not disputed, and Kellog ran a Sanitorium, was obsessed with masturbation, and was a crazy old bitch. Why try and revise that unilaterally? Am I supposed to prove established fact with sources to prove common knowledge? I get my fill of that in politics, I may have to do it with federal agents executing citizens under false pretense, but I will not waste further time on it for this.

      Yes it was a sanitarium, it it wasn’t not an insane asylum or a prison. It was a health resort.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Creek_Sanitarium

      The Battle Creek Sanitarium was a world-renowned health resort in Battle Creek, Michigan, United States.[3] It started in 1866 on health principles advocated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and from 1876 to 1943 was managed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.[4]

        I am not arguing settled historical fact. If you want to overturn the historical record, take it up with the historians first.
