Wheatgrass Manna and Ann Wigmore

As per 'Get Well Naturally' by Linda Clark:

The use of wheatgrass--

"Dr. Wigmore is quick to point out that wheatgrass should not be construed as a cure for any disease. But by furnishing the body with live minerals, vitamins, trace elements, and chlorophyll, it may be able to repair itself. Judging by the many testimonials which are coming to Dr. Wigmore from all over the United States, this type of nutrition is apparently producing a protective effect on some people.

Iscador the name for a remedy said to be derived from mistletoe. This remedy is being studied by the Society for Cancer Research in Switzerland. The society seeks no material gain, is directed by practicing physicians, and may be contacted by...

Calvacin, an anti-tumor agent extracted from the giant puffball mushroom (Calvatia giganteum). It has been found active against 14 types of animal cancer, as reported in Science, by 13 investigators from Armour and Company, Sloan Kettering Institute, and Michigan State University. According to the science page of the New York Times, January 8th, 1961, which called attention to this discovery, "The substance is not available for treating malignant tumors in humans but may go on clinical trial by mid-1961." Where is this remedy and why is it not availble?

Biography[edit]

Wigmore was born Anna Marie Warapicki in Lithuania on March 4, 1909 to Antanas (1877-1959) and Anna (1882-?) Warapicki. Her father emigrated to America in 1908, settling in Middleboro, Massachusetts, where he first worked as a laborer in a shoe manufacturing company (1920 Fed Census/1924 & 1925 Middleboro city directories) and later as a truck driver for a bakery (1930 Fed Census) during Wigmore's American teen-age years; Wigmore's mother followed five years later, aboard the ship Erlangen, arriving at Ellis Island on June 16, 1913. After World War I, Anna Marie, then 13, and her brother, Mykola, age 15, (both surnames erroneously entered on the ship's passenger log as "Varapickis") accompanied by an uncle, arrived at Ellis Island on December 9, 1922, on the ship USS America, to join their parents and younger sister Helen, born February 19, 1921, in Middleboro. The 1930 Federal Census found Wigmore living in Bristol, Massachusetts and working as a hospital maid under the name of Anna Warap.
On December 25, 1930, Anna Marie (again under the name "Warap" per wedding coverage Stoughton News-Sentinel, 1 Jan 1931) married Everett Arnold Wigmore (1907-1969), of Stoughton, Massachusetts, where they resided during their marriage.[1] A daughter, Wilma Edith Wigmore, was born on July 9, 1941.[2] On January 12, 1942, Wigmore became a United States citizen under Certificate No. 5302785, U.S. District Court, Boston, Massachusetts.[3] The Wigmores later divorced sometime in the 1950ties-60ties. Mr. Wigmore remarried; apparently Ann Wigmore did not.
In 1968, Ann Wigmore co-founded the Hippocrates Health Institute,[4] a health resort in the United States, with Viktoras Kulvinskas.[5] Known as "the mother of living foods", she was an early pioneer in the use of wheatgrass juice and living foods for detoxifying and healing the body, mind, and spirit.[6] She died in Boston on February 16, 1994 of smoke inhalation from a fire at the Ann Wigmore Foundation.[7] When Ann Wigmore died her Institute was not named the Hippocrates Health Institute. It was called the Ann Wigmore Foundation. Brian Clement owned the Hippocrates Health Institute which he moved from Boston to West Palm Beach, Florida.
In her autobiography, Why Suffer?: How I Overcame Illness & Pain Naturally, Wigmore recalls observing her grandmother using herbs and natural remedies as a child inLithuania.[8] As an adult, she began researching and testing various whole foods and diet approaches, which she credits with solving her medical problems and changing her life.[9]
