George Washington Carey (September 7, 1845 – November 16/17, 1924) - Born in Dixon, Lee County, Illinois, and died in San Diego, California. He was an American homeopath and occultist known for a number of 1910s ‘chemistry of life’ publications, a subject which he referred to as biochemistry, particularly his 1919 The Chemistry of Human Life, all generally using a mixture of religion, astrology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry, themed particularly with a mineral-based theory of human disease.Behncke, F.H. (1996). Pioneer Teachers (George W. Carey, pg. 47). Health Research Books . Carey is popular among homeopathic and new age circles. In the context of a person viewed as a "human molecule", Carey was the first to state that a person's body is a “chemical formula in operation.”
Carey was influenced by Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler ideas about "cell salts". He founded his own biochemical college.Haller, John S. (2009). The History of American Homeopathy: From Rational Medicine to Holistic Health Care. Rutgers University Press. pp. 50-51.
