George Starr White

George Starr White (July 13, 1866 - November 28, 1956) was an American physician, chiropractor, and inventor of many chromotherapeutic, radionic, and related medical devices. By his own accounting, White diagnosed nearly a quarter of a million cases, and penned over a hundred books.

Background
George Starr White was born on a homestead near Danbury, Connecticut, the third child of parents William and Mary Elizabeth (nee Nichols), named for friend of the family George Starr. His recollections of his first years are pastoral and idyllic, and he claimed for himself the status of prodigy from the start, distinguishing himself in the study of naturalism, and further held that he had discovered his ability to see "auras" (psycho-magnetic radiations) at around the age of five. Further, White described himself as having been a well-disciplined and physically strong youth, characterising himself as never backing down or losing a fight, and boasted to having developed an uncanny expertise in trick horse-back riding and acrobatics, to such a degree that P.T. Barnum himself had been impressed enough to attempt to hire him as a "child performer" for $50 a week.

In his late teens, White began private medical studies under Dr. A. T. Clason, and later Dr. Emerson E. Snow, where he first developed a practice of Electric-Light Treatment using early Edison lamps. After some three years studying under preceptors Clason and Snow, the still young White relocated to New York City to earn a degree in medicine.

Once in New York, White claimed to have been denied opportunity to matriculate at University of the City of New York (New York University), and sought to attend Yale University, but abandoned the application after discovering his studies under Clason and Snow would not qualify him for placement. His educational plans foiled, White turned to manufacturing baby food for city doctors, building a business enterprise that brought him a fortune over the years that followed, and, according to him, no shortage of jealous rivals, in particular corrupt officials from the Board of Health, who, in failing to secure bribes, sought to harrass, blackmail, and even assassinate White. One such attempt on White's life culiminated, in his account, with his verbal brow-beating and shaming of the armed men until they surrendered to him, while other incidents White described involved the physical assaulting and threatening his would-be attackers.

White saw conspiracy everywhere in his New York days. He reported legal suits were routinely mounted against him, and he firmly believed his manufacturing business was suffering by internal sabotage. The sudden death of his "silent partner", an incident he alluded may have been foul play, led to White's organising of his own "secret service" of private investigators to dig up dirt on his corrupt rivals in the Board of Health and to monitor suspect workers within his own company.

By early 1904, then in his late thirties and established in New York City, White was able to secure admission to an unnamed medical school. However, White continued to feel persecuted by the conspiracy of "organized medical men", who he reported harassed him during his time at the school, forcing him to employ his private investigators to spy on his school rivals. He was perpetually on-guard against attack, and wrote of routinely declining invitations to participate in scams and get-rich-quick schemes with public officials and private businessmen, and of his bearing witness to a terrific corruption of all medical bodies in the city.

After two years, White transferred to another college to complete his degree (likely the New York Homeopathic Medical College), during which time he reported being poisoned during a dinner, a laboratory accident that left his eyes injured, and an attempt by a professor to deny him his credentials upon graduation.
