Wolf-Dieter Storl (born October 1, 1942) is a German-American cultural anthropologist, ethnobotanist and book author who promotes anthroposophy and esoterical ideas.[1]

Life

Wolf-Dieter Storl was born on October 1, 1942, in Crimmitschau, Saxony, Germany.

He grew up in Germany. At the age of eleven, in 1951,[2] Storl immigrated to the United States with his parents and lived in rural Ohio until his studies. There, he became interested in nature, forests and plants.[2]

Storl is married to an American from Wyoming. They have a son and a daughter. The family lives on a remote farm in the western part of the Allgäu. The courtyard is a former knight's seat built in 1188 and hidden in the forest.[2]

Criticism

Storl's support for curing Lyme disease with naturopathy, which he presents in his book Borreliose natürlich heilen (Cure Lyme disease naturally)–a disease Storl himself claims to suffer from–attracted some criticism.[3][4]

Storl's views on the climate crisis in an interview on the website KenFM is met with criticism.[5]
