Although I stand by the comment I made in my earlier post today about T.C.
Fry's theoretical stance vs. his actual (or not) practice of fruitarianism,
unfortunately the timing of my comments could not have been more grievously
ill-timed.
I want to be the first to say here that regardless of my views about T.C.,
I was very sorry and somewhat stunned to hear just a few minutes ago from a
participant of the Natural Hygiene M2M--who was a friend of T.C.'s--that he
died earlier today. Apparently his health had not been good for the last
several months, and he was only around 70 years old. This is too young an
age to die and I cannot but feel regret that he was not able to enjoy a
longer life. He was a colorful character, and whether you loved him or
hated him, he had an undeniable and large influence upon many modern-day
natural hygienists.
All I know at this point from the M2M participant who relayed the news to
me is that apparently T.C. had been ill for some months. I may be garbling
the details somewhat, but apparently he had anemia either before, or after
(which, I am not clear) some ozone treatments he had had in the Dominican
Republic a few months back. He ended up losing a very large amount of
weight, and diagnoses at that time from two different physicians (one a
hygienic chiropractor, the other of whose credentials I am unsure) were
congestive heart failure on the one hand, and adrenal insufficiency on the
other.
After this diagnosis T.C. had gone to a health retreat of one of his former
students to recover and had regained much of the weight he had lost, but
then died. A lesion on his lung may have been implicated. Details are
sketchy and I would not consider what little I've have relayed here
completely reliable.
I will leave it to someone else better acquqinted to remember T.C.'s
accomplishments here. I was familiar only with some of T.C.'s theories and
of some of the events in his life in the last few years as I have became
involved in natural hygiene circles more heavily.
My condolences to those who were close to him.
