I just got back from Battle Creek Michigan (the cereal capital of the world). I flew out of the Kalamazoo International Airport.
While I was there (for work) I got a lovely tour of a health resort name "The Sanatorium which was started by Dr. J. H. Kellogg (the inventor of cereal and granola) in the 1900.
Kellogg started this place dubbed "The San" as a place for rest, relaxation and a place to get healthy. Dr. Kellogg was ahead of his time, as far as health and diet were concerned. He was a fervent promoter of vegetarianism and a high fiber diet, getting plenty of rest but also getting a lot of physical activity and fresh air. He advocated that sugar, caffeine and smoking were extremely detrimental to ones health and welling being.
He even invented many different bizarre medical apparatus to help cure his patients. (Like the vibrating chair and the dunking booth)
This concludes what I was told about The San and Dr. Kellogg on my tour. I felt that all of that stuff was really interesting, so later on I decided to read more about the man and his sanatorium. (The San was gorgeous BTW)
As it also turns out, Dr Kellogg was adamant that sex and sexual activity cause a wide variety of illness and mental anguish. If a person being treated in his hospital wasn't getting better, he would accuse them of masturbating or having sex. The man wrote a book called "Plain Facts for Old and Young", about the evils of sex and unhealthy living on HIS HONEYMOON! The work is 667 pages. He even lived in a separate house from his wife as proof that he never even touched his wife after marriage. <glort>
And furthermore, he was a TOTAL FREAK about bowel moves, laxatives and colonics. Seriously, Dr. Kellogg was a scatologist that was obsessed with all things related to shit. He went so far as to remove large portions of peoples intestines through operations in order to make them well, (he would do up to 20 of these operations a day) He also invented hundreds of super duper laxatives that he gave to all his patients so he could have there bowels working well. (IMO - I think this got him off!)
Dr. Kellogg, you were so close to becoming my hero, but I have to change my mind since you are someone who thinks sex is bad, but poop is holy. Dr. Kellogg, you werent as smart as I once thought you were, but rock on with your shit loven self!

I'm so excited. I asked to be sent all the catalogs and stuff and I want to do a tour of the campus in August. Do you know anything about their portfolio requirements?
