NOTES
A secondary scholarly source for the history of the sanatorium that delivered Bircher-Benner’s regimen. The volume was issued in connection with the Swiss National Museum, which establishes the institution as a documented part of Swiss medical and cultural history. The archive cites it for the sanatorium’s existence and historical context (a private residential clinic on the Zurichberg in Zurich) rather than for any endorsement of the underlying nutrition theory.
