Christian published prolifically on the subject of health, nutrition, and orthomolecular medicine promoting natural foods, eating raw, and the harmonization of food types with over forty titles. In addition to founding the Corrective Eating Society in 1914, he also headed many groups such as Health-Culture Society and the Christian Dietetic Society. In printed wrappers, with only the slightest wear to staples, otherwise fine.
