Dr. Bronner became more zealous and vocal about his religious philosophy that he called the All-One-God-Faith. In 1947 while speaking without a permit at the University of Chicago he was arrested and placed in a mental institution where he reportedly received shock treatments. However he escaped from that institution, eventually settled in California, and continued his soap making career as well as his great dedication to his All-One-God-Faith. He died in 1997. http://www.themakeyourownzone.com/2014/08/whats-weird-label-dr-bronners-soap.html
