John Walter Wigelsworth (October 29, 1885 - May 2, 1975) was an American naprapath and nutritionist, co-founder (with his brother A. E. Wigelsworth) of Anabolic Food Products, and an early practitioner of radionics and chromopathy, whom as proprietor of Pathometric Laboratories Inc. manufactured the Pathoclast and mentored T. Galen Hieronymus.

Overview

  • Naturopathic Pharmacy (~1917)
  • Worked with the Apyrtropher Society's Health Haven as a resident diagnostician (~1920s)
  • Pathometric Laboratories, Inc. (~1923), manufacturer of radionic devices, publisher of Pathometric Digest
  • Anabolic Food Products (~1924), a mail-order company offering customers dehydrated vegetable capsules for vitamin supplementing
  • Relocated to California (~1936), moving Anabolic Food Products manufacturing and farming to Glendale; by this point, he had apparently sold his stake in Pathometric Laboratories and focused on nutritional supplements and organic plant cultivation, growing "super-vegetables"
  • In his retirement years, Wigelsworth invested his time in cultivating orchids and charitable efforts
