John Calvin Coolidge Jr., (4 July 1872 – 5 January 1933) was the 30th President of the United States (1923 – 1929). He was born in Vermont, the son of businessman and state senator, John Calvin Coolidge Sr. (1845 – 1926).

Calvin Coolidge had two personal homeopaths, Dr.’s Charles Elmer Sawyer and Joel Thompson Boone, and he campaigned for homeopathic supporter, President William McKinley.

Coolidge’s wife, Grace, took Dr. Boone as her personal physician, and remained close friends with Boone, his wife and daughter, Suzanne, for the rest of her life. In June, 1921, Grace Coolidge was the guest of honour at a banquet held at Rauschers, given by the National Woman’s Homoeopathic League

Coolidge voted in favour of Womens’ Suffrage, a movement pioneered by homeopaths in America. Coolidge ran as vice presidential nominee to homeopathic supporter Warren G. Harding in a victorious campaign in 1920.

Coolidge was interested in mysticism and in 1927, Indian Swami Paramhansa Yogananda was officially received at the White House by President Coolidge, who had become interested in the newspaper reports of his activities.

Coolidge was befriended by homeopath and U.S. Senator, Royal Samuel Copeland M.D.:

The now-forgotten maverick senator from New York who served from 1923 to 1938. Royal Samuel Copeland was a student of both conventional and homeopathic medicine, an eye surgeon who became President of the American Institute of Homeopathy, dean of the New York Homeopathic Medical College, and health commissioner of New York City from 1918 to 1923 (he instituted unique approaches to the deadly flu pandemic).

We see how Royal Samuel Copeland straddled the worlds of politics (he befriended Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, among others) and medicine (as Senator, he helped get rid of medical “diploma mills”).

His crowning achievement was to give homeopathy lasting legitimacy by including all its remedies in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938.

Homeopathic Colleges in America were the first places in the Western World to train women as doctors, and  the next profession to admit women was the Ministry. Coolidge’s cousin Olympia Brown is widely considered to have been the first Universalist minister ordained in America, but in fact it was probably homeopathic physician, Lydia Ann Jenkins.
