Dr John Christopher
Dr John R Christopher became a Master Herbalist in 1946 after completing course work under Dr H Knowles at Dominion Herbal College in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1948 he received his Naturopathic Doctor degree from the Institute of Drugless Therapy in Tama, Iowa. He continued his studies at the Los Angeles Herbal Institute under the renowned Dr Edward Shook, receiving his Herbal Pharmacist degree. He practiced as a professional herbalist in the states of Washington, Wyoming and Utah. He developed a training programme for herbalists and organised The School of Natural Healing in 1953.
