Friedrich Eduard Bilz (1842 - 1922)

Friedrich Eduard Bilz (June 12, 1842 – January 30, 1922) was a German naturopath. As a merchant of a Kolonialwarenladen (shop offering non-European goods) in Meerane, Bilz became interested in naturopathic medicine. In 1888 he published Das Neue Naturheilverfahren (The New Natural Healing), a book that became very popular and was translated into twelve languages.
