Meet Eleanor Wilson
Thyroid problems resolved through fasting

In this issue, we pay tribute to longtime ANHS Life member Eleanor Wilson. Eleanor learned about Natural Hygiene in 1970, but she didn’t make substantial changes in her lifestyle until her health began to suffer.

“My doctor told me I had a thyroid problem, and that the only solution was to take thyroxin for the rest of my life. I wasn’t ready to make that big a commitment, and decided to go on a supervised fast instead. Following a three-week fast, I never had any further problems.”

Her interest in education led Eleanor to establish a Montessori school with nine children in 1969. The school has grown to include 620 children, ranging in ages from 16 months to 12 years, in seven locations.

Earlier this year, Eleanor started a local Natural Hygiene group in Ajax, Ontario, where she lives with her husband Edgar. “I think it is so important to spread the message of health. The Society is doing a great job of reaching more people, especially with the ANHS Library Project. I play videos of ANHS Conference speakers at our local meetings, or invite a guest speaker. We all can play a part in helping to get the word out!”
