1. Introduction

Hilton Hotema, born George R. Clements (7 February 1878, Fitchburg, Massachusetts - 1970),^[1] was a 20th-century American alternative health writer, esoteric author and mystic, who also adopted the names Kenyon Klamonti and Dr. Karl Kridler.

2. Background

Hilton Hotema authored numerous books on dietetics, fasting, fruitarianism, breatharianism, vitality, cellular regeneration, longevity, higher consciousness, spirituality, alternative medicine and ancient wisdom, published by Health Research Books, Washington. He collaborated with Herbert Shelton,^[2] and Hereward Carrington.^[3] His contemporaries included Walter Siegmeister, Theos Bernard, Alexis Carrel and Johnny Lovewisdom, who wrote about related subjects.

In Man's Higher Consciousness, Hotema wrote that man was designed to live 80,000 to 100,000 years, before his teeth and alimentary canal were subject to degeneration. It was published in 1952 as Man's Miraculous Unused Power using the pen name Kenyon Klamonti.^[4] George R. Clements (AKA Hilton Hotema, AKA Kenyon Klamonti) claimed he became a vegan at 9 years of age after reading a book about health at school. He said he lived as a breatharian-fruitarian for almost 80 years. He lived to 92 years of age." Hotema is documented in the book The Struggle Between Religion & Science by Marshall J. Gauvin.

In addition to writing his own books, Hotema provided many introductions to the systematic reprintings of rare, out-of-print, esoteric books published by Health Research of Mokelumne Hill, California during the 1950s and 1960s.
