An Intro

He’s been called the Einstein of Nutrition. But he was a mechanical genius too, with countless patents and inventions to his name that can be found in everything from standing food mixers to electric dental drills. He was also a farmer, a researcher, an activist, and a philanthropist who was decorated by humanitarian and scientific societies alike. Yet few people today have ever heard of Dr. Royal Lee.

It’s a sad truth that people ahead of their time are often maligned in their time. Our mission at DrRoyalLee.com is not to exaggerate the works of this great man but to present them fairly, so that minds of the current age can assess for themselves the scope and merit of his contributions to humankind, particularly in the field to which he dedicated his life, human nutrition.

Often society appreciates greatness only in retrospect. It’s time for history to catch up to Dr. Royal Lee.

• Dr. Lee Proposes the Theory of Autoimmune Disease

While the medical community dismissed Lee’s ideas, it now acknowledges autoimmune disorder to be the main mechanism behind numerous degenerative diseases. In this audio clip from Lectures of Dr. Royal Lee Volume II, Dr. Lee explains his hypothesis in remarkably clear terms.

  In this famous 1942 report, Dr. Lee and J. Stolzoff contrast the characteristics of real food with those of their crude artificial imitations. “Because of the denaturation of foods by refining and processing, we are overeating the fattening and energy-producing components in foods and literally starving for the vital vitamin and mineral factors, which have become far scarcer and more difficult to obtain than at any time in the history of the human race.” Still ahead of the times, this report is as important now as it was in its day.

• How Organized Medicine is Fighting Vitamins
  In this riveting personal account, Dr. Lee describes the legal battle that led him to discover that organized medicine was actively working to discredit and suppress nutritional approaches to health.
