Zane R. Kime, MD, MS
Since a photo and biography of Dr. Kime seems not to be available,
we have included, instead, the descriptive information from
the back of his book, Sunlight.
About the Book:
The most fervent and carefully detailed work on sunlight and
health ever to appear in one volume, Sunlight will instantly
be recognized as the definitive work on the subject. In sheer
scope it will be difficult to match; very probably the first
important book of its kind, it sums up the most vital knowledge
on sunlight ever to be related to all aspects of health.
In his book, Dr. Kime reveals how sunlight, properly employed,
can lower high blood pressure, lower high blood sugar, decrease
total body cholesterol, strengthen a physical fitness program,
increase the body's resistance to infection, and prevent some
of the chronic degenerative diseases which commonly plague western
civilization.
However, the author warns his readers, that before beginning
a sunlight therapy program, they should acquire a thorough understanding
of the conditions under which sunlight therapy may be considered
beneficial or harmful as presented in his book.
What authorities say about the book:
"Dr. Kime's book, in my opinion, represents the biggest step
forward to date in bringing together the scientific data and
practical medical application of sunlight to human health...The
scope of this book is spellbinding, and I strongly recommend
it to everybody interested in living longer and enjoying better
health."
- John Ott, ScD
Director of the Environmental Health and Light Institute (ret.)
"Sunlight is excellently written for general reading, and yet
is in careful tune with the latest scientific literature in
the field. I endorse this book as a correlative reading for
anyone in an exercise program."
- Thomas K. Cureton, Jr, PhD.
Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois

Ellen G. White (1827-1915)
Mrs. White received an estimated 2000 divinely inspired visions
and prophetic dreams during her 70 years of public ministry.
She had only a third grade education yet is the most translated
female writer in the world and the most translated American
author male or female. Though she had no scholastic training,
she wrote volumes on subjects she had never studied. In these
voluminous writings she set forth principles and scientific
facts that were unknown to the most learned men of her day
but today are accepted as proven scientific facts. She has
been described as being 50 to 100 years ahead of her time.
Her writings included subjects such as: nutrition, lifestyle,
stewardship, temperance, religion, social relationships, race
issues, evangelism, prophecy, publishing, nature, psychology,
and more. Ellen White was a very popular public speaker, not
only in the United States, but in Europe and Australia as
well. She was much in demand, not only at Adventist meetings,
but also before non-Adventist audiences, where she was a much-sought-after
lecturer on temperance.
At the time of her death:
• 24 of her books were in current circulation with
two more ready for publication.
• 5000 articles for various publications had been written by
her
• 200 different tracts and pamphlets of hers had been published
• 100,000 pages of total literary output.
About 50 compilations of her writings have been produced
since her death.
She was a co-founder of numerous sanitariums, colleges,
and publishing houses around the globe.
Ellen G. White is
of particular interest as an author used on this website
not only because of her many visions but because
her writings are
the basis for Dr. Kellogg’s Biologic
Living principles. By studying her writings
- which are still in print - the reader will thoroughly understand
Biologic Living.
Dr. Kellogg was quoted as saying that “There is not
a single health principle that is advocated in these writings
from Sister White, which I am not prepared to demonstrate
conclusively from scientific evidence.”
In a conversation with a visiting physician, Dr. Kellogg
said, “Do you know how it is that the Battle Creek Sanitarium
is able to keep five years ahead of the medical profession?
When a new thing is brought out in the medical world I know
from my knowledge of Ellen White’s writings whether
it belongs in our system or not. If it does, I instantly adopt
it and advertise it while the rest of the doctors are slowly
feeling their way. And when they finally adopt it I have five
years start on them. On the other hand, when the medical profession
is swept off their feet by some new fad, if it does not fit
the light we have received, I simply do not touch it. When
the doctors finally discover their mistake, they wonder how
it came to be that I did not get caught.” (E. G. White
Publications Document File 45.)
