  • Breakfast cereal is big business, and it all started with Corn Flakes, which came from the mind of John Harvey Kellogg. He had some other interesting ideas in his mind as well.
    The story of John Harvey Kellogg and the Battle Creek Sanitarium is the story of crazy health fads, religious fervor, and enemas. Lots of enemas.

    I love your delivery. I’m a historian that grew up in the SDA church. I knew all this but still found your presentation truly entertaining. Kellogg was a really weird guy. I never bought into the SDA teachings but I did study the history. They actually kicked Kellogg out in 1907 because he was too out there even for them. When I was in college I kept hearing that he had written a book, “The Solitary Vice” on the dangers of masturbation. But, the official church library insisted it didn’t exist…just an urban myth. Then, in my 20s, I came across an original copy that escaped destruction. It was truly disturbing.

      The entire point of life:
      Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve. Mathew 20: 28. We are no different. This entire life is a representation of the spiritual warfare going on. Good vs evil. God isn't a flying man in the sky, but the actual representation of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc. Not metaphor, but literally, like an extra demintional wavelength of thought, emotions, and intent. The devil is the opposite wavelength, pain, fear, hate, anger, darkness, etc. Human life is serving one of these two. Not a man in the sky, actual sentient collective universal Love. However, humans are primatives, we make mistakes. It's in our nature, since the fall, to go down the wrong path. This means at some time each one of us has served darkness to some degree. God understands our limited understanding of our own actions, so he gave us forgiveness, though sacrificing himself in human form as Jesus Christ. It is our duty to accept that sacrifice, get the forgiveness, and be better, helping others be better, and spreading this wavelength of Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Light, etc, thoughout the universe. But God had to make a way for us to get to this place spiritually, this is why evidence is not allowed. Evidence will make you believe, using the fear of absolute punishment to change your behavior, but that won't make you better, just scared. Faith makes you better. It is what redeemes us, not our works. Faith is the hope that things get better, that justice always prevails, that we're at least loved by our creator. But it has to be Faith in Jesus, because of his sacrifice. And there can't be evidence to point us to him, because Love had to be fair. If there were a code in our DNA, what about everyone born before genetic sequencing? If there were a book with the solar system thosands of years ago, what would stop an evil person from hiding/destroying it? If it were something you had to go to, what about the geographically isolated, imprisoned, or enslaved. If it were a train of logic, what about the uneducated, or mentally slow? Not to mention all the people born before schools. Love cannot give to one without giving to the other. So the key to salvation had to be something everyone has access to. The only thing is Faith. This is why God puts it upon your heart to learn about these things, even if it's only to criticize, or hate. God is everywhere, because Love is everywhere, and so is the devil, because hate is everywhere. They're in your head all the time, regardless of weather or not you accept that. They whisper inside your heart, giving you ideas. But more than that, they're inside everyone's heart. This is how they get things done. They corrordanate us like pieces on a chess board. The only difference is, we get to chose who's side we're playing for. At the end of our life, we go to that team's home base, Heaven, or Hell. A place where all that exists is those wavelengths. Hate, pain, anger, fear, darkness; or Love, Hope, Joy, Peace, Pleasure, Light. The choice is yours to make. But you cannot go to Heaven with hate in your heart. You must forgive, repent, and spread joy for those around you. These are sentient eternal controlling forces in our universe. Heaven and Hell are very real places, I've seen them. Those steps prime your soul for a meeting with God. Very literally. Once you've done all four, in that order, you get divine revelation, with all the evidence you'll ever need. They are, forgive your parents, brake down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. Step four takes three books to get the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. The order of the steps is important, step 1 has to come before step 3. I can state that for an absolute certainty that these steps always work. Please, take your salvation seriously. See for yourself. Do those steps. Jesus Christ is Lord. It's all True.

    J. H. Kellogg was one of those people whose life served as a link between genius and insanity.
    ETA:
    Oh yeah, regarding his endorsement of eugenics, a lot of that was related to his kids, whom he had adopted.
    See, he was very proud of the fact that he had never consummated his marriage, and all of his children were adopted at varying ages. This also doubled as an early experiment in "nature versus nurture," and all of his children knew they were adopted. One of his sons is believed to have been the biological son of a petty criminal, and as he grew up, he was alleged to have had disciplinary issues at school, and didn't have the easiest time with the law, himself. Kellogg concluded that it was the boy's genes, and not the fact that he was being raised by a rich nutcase with just enough genius ideas to keep his gargantuan ego inflated, and who likely reminded said son every day that he was basically a science experiment, that led his son to turn to crime and (IIRC) drug addiction.
    Whether this is what led him to eugenics, or if it was more something that "confirmed" ideas of his that were already favourable of eugenics, I'm not sure, but there you have it - one of Michigan's greatest evil geniuses.
