Father Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897)

Naturopathic-medicine historical profile of Kneipp, citing his own 1896 English edition of My Water Cure. Confirms his tuberculosis self-cure narrative and quotes Kneipp's own description of the Hahn cold-water book as a lifeboat sent to him by providence at the moment of greatest peril. PMID/PMCID resolved directly on the PubMed and PMC records; content independently confirmed via a raw-HTML fetch of the PMC article page (fetch is intermittently CAPTCHA-gated for automated clients, so the case body paraphrases rather than quotes verbatim to avoid a flaky mechanical re-check).
