Who is Dr. Christopher?
John Raymond Christopher was born in November 1909 to European parents. He was left in a Salt Lake City, Utah orphanage and adopted by Leander and Melissa Christopher.
Born with advanced rheumatoid arthritis, he endured excruciating pain. As a child, he sometimes walked with a cane or was confined to a wheelchair. He also developed hardening of the arteries and a nearly fatal case of croup. Doctors of his day proclaimed that he would never reach the age of thirty.
One day his mother asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
“I’m going to be a doctor!” he answered without hesitation.
“Oh Raymond!” his mother laughed. “How can you be a doctor? You can’t stand the sight of blood. You’ve never been able to slay the rabbits you raise for food, and you run from the kitchen whenever I raise the old butcher knife to a chicken. What kind of doctor would that be?”

There was a moment’s pause before he answered this time, “Mother, I will be able to heal people without cutting them up. There will be natural ways of doing it.”
His interest in natural healing grew when he saw naturopathic healing cure his mother of dropsy and diabetes. His own health dramatically increased when he learned about and began following a healthy diet. After overcoming cancer using natural methods his enthusiasm to share this information grew tremendously.
Ray went on to study herbology and natural healing in Canada, Iowa and Los Angeles. He is hailed as America's foremost herbalist. His books and research are studied by herbalists worldwide.
