Henry Robert Harrower, MD (April 30, 1883 – January 2, 1953)[1] was a controversial early figure in endocrinology, and the author of several books and many papers on the subject.
Endocrinologists disdained these practices, believing that only the thyroid gland could have a meaningful effect when consumed orally.
At the Seventh-day Adventist college he learned, and was receptive to, the alternative therapy teachings of John Harvey Kellogg.
He graduated and spent several years in France and Italy, travelling back and forth between Europe and the United States.
He eventually settled in an exclusive suburb in Glendale, California and established The Harrower Laboratory and Clinic.
