Ann Wigmore was born March 4, 1909 in Lithuania. She died in a fire in her home the 16th of February 1994. This great lady probably did more than any other person in recent history to educate people about the healing benefits of wheatgrass and a living food diet. [a diet of raw sprouts, fruits and vegetables, and sprouted nuts, seeds, and grains.]

I called Ann Wigmore “Doctor” in respect to her pioneering quest to help both herself and others. She dedicated her life to helping others. Her holistic manner of teaching is much too advanced for the medical profession. Only those who saw beyond the rough exterior of an immigrant forging her way through the snakepit of advancing disease and decay of the American way of life can attest to her truths.

Dr. Ann always professed that deficiency and toxemia are the causes of all disease. Cleanse the body and it will heal itself. She has given many more opportunity for survival and self-improvement than any one. Her faith in God and people has strengthened many's own religion.

Dr. Ann Wigmore did pioneering work in assisting the body to heal itself. Through the American eating habits Dr. Ann Wigmore developed cancer of the colon, arthritis, hernia, migraine headaches, blood poisoning, depression and gray hair by the time she was fifty. She knew that the only thing to do was to turn back to nature. Gradually Dr. Ann Wigmore developed the Living Foods Lifestyle and returned to nature. It took her about three years to regain her health. Over her lifetime Dr. Ann Wigmore improved the Living Food Lifestyle which meant others were able to regain health in only several months rather than several years.

Dr. Ann Wigmore is the author of numerous Ann Wigmore books and courses which are all available even after her death at the age of 83 in a fire. A video taken of her three months before her death shows a woman in her eighties moving about like a young woman--limber, energetic, and intellectually sharp.
