George Stephen Weger (September 2, 1874 – January 16, 1935) was an American physician and natural hygiene proponent.
Biography
[ edit ]
Weger was born in Baltimore, Maryland .[1] In 1895, he attended Baltimore Medical College and obtained his medical degree in 1898.[1] [2] From 1898, Weger worked as a physician in Delphos, Ohio .[1] He was a devout Catholic . He married Katie C. Trame on October 1, 1900.[1]
Weger practiced medicine in Delphos until 1912.[2] He was general manager of Mueller Implement and Auto Company in Delphos.[3] He was a member of the California State and San Bernardino County Medical Associations, Delphos Commercial Club and Vice President of the Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis.[2] [4]
After 1912, Weger rejected conventional medicine and was associated with the natural hygiene movement. In his book Dietetic Disappointments and Failures , he recommended fasting , a fruit , vegetable and nut diet and for people to avoid drugs , flour , meat , salt , spices , alcohol , coffee , tea , all processed foods and sexual excitement.[5] In 1920, the California State Journal of Medicine noted that "Weger, with an inchoate grouch against the medical profession, of which, we surmise, he is a misrepresentative member."[6]
Weger was director and owner of Weger Health School in Redlands, California (1923–1935). He died at his school on January 16, 1935, from a heart attack.[2] [7] A chair was established at the Medical School of Columbia University in memory of Weger.[8]
