Dr. James Thompson

(1887-1960)

Meet the naturopath who established the prestigious Kingston Clinic in Edinburgh, Scotland. Like many health pioneers, he faced chronic illness early in his life, but he persevered to find solutions and create a legacy of wellness.

In 1909, he embarked on a transformative journey to the United States, driven by a burning desire to explore the pioneering methods that had restored his health. His quest led him to Bernarr MacFadden’s renowned sanatorium and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s groundbreaking hydrotherapy center. Continuing his odyssey, he made his way to Chicago, where he witnessed Dr. Henry Lindlahr’s practice of a truly unique form of natural therapy.
