Born on November 25, 1878 in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, one of eight children of Lewis Clymer and Emma Stevenback Clymer, he studied medicine in Chicago, Illinois, and registered as an osteopath in New York in 1910. He went on to practice alternative medicine, and wrote and published works on the subject. He also wrote extensively about the teachings of Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875), sex magic, vegetarianism, religion, alchemy, and Spiritualism; his teachings remain influential in the study of Randolph to this day. Clymer also wrote books on nutrition, such as Dietetics: A Complete Course of Instructions in the Correct Use and Combination of Food in Health and Disease (1917), and Diet, a Key to Health (1930), and authorized a Rose Cross Aid cookbook. Clymer passed away on June 3, 1966, at the age of 87. He is buried at Sunset Memorial Park in Feasterville, Pennsylvania.view less
