Death
By 1972, at the age of 77, he was completely bedridden from a degenerative neuro-muscular disease believed to be Parkinson's disease. He died thirteen years later, unable to improve his own health despite many attempts. His contemporaries were shocked to see him unable to walk, speak normally, or write.
Toward the end most of his subsequent books were dictated in a whisper. He continued his involvement in Dr Shelton's Health School (now the seventh organization under that name).
A biography of Shelton was published in 1989, Yours for Health: The Life and Times of Herbert M. Shelton by Jean A. Oswald, Franklin Books, Franklin, Wisconsin ISBN 0-9620490-0-X
