Summary
Burn the Cabbage Patch dolls. Destroy the rock music. Pray away the depression. Investigate the sins of your adopted child’s birth parents. This was the health and science education inside the Wisdom Booklets and IBLP’s companion medical pamphlets — the same curriculum the Duggar family used. The Medical Training Institute of America issued guidance without a single licensed physician. It told families that dolls caused difficult childbirth, that mental illness was a character defect, and that circumcision was a spiritual requirement. We go inside the pseudoscience and show you what was taught as God’s truth.
