Biography
Loomis was educated at Haverford College and Cornell Medical School. He was a Quaker.[1] Loomis served as a surgeon during World War II with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Association in Algeria.[2] He was assigned by the Friends' Ambulance Unit in Tenchung, China where he directed a hospital and clinic with an international medical team to treat civilian and military personnel.[2]
After the war, Loomis studied alternative medicine remedies and metaphysical new thought.[1] His mother Amy Brown Loomis (died February 26, 1980) was a spiritualist medium who claimed to have communicated with Jesus Christ.[1]
Loomis died on October 2, 2003.[3]
Meadowlark
Loomis founded Meadowlark at a property once owned by Louis B. Mayer in Hemet, California.[2][4] In 1958, it became a holistic medical retreat. Meadowlark hosted conferences and in 1973 a preceptorship program for medical students. He was executive director of Meadowlark and is reported to have treated thousands of guests before retiring in 1991.[2] Loomis advocated juice fasting such as carrot and celery juice for detoxification.[5]
Meadowlark promoted holistic medicine and spiritual healing. The American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA) was formed at their facilities.[1] Gladys McGarey, C. Norman Shealy and William A. McGarey were associated with the AHMA.[1]
