Jack says, “Bragg saved my life at age 15, when I attended the
Bragg Health and Fitness Crusade in Oakland, California.” From
that day, Jack has continued to live The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle,
inspiring millions to health and fitness! http://www.jacklalanne.com
Another success story and example of how attending
one of our Bragg Health Crusade lectures can change
someone’s life with total health is found in a once-sickly
15 year old now famous for the 35 year run of his TV
Jack LaLanne Exercise Show! Over 74 years ago Jack’s
mother dragged her ailing son to a lecture being given
by my health crusading father. They arrived late, the
hall was packed, and they had to sit on the stage close
to Dad in front of some 3 , 000 people. As Jack says:
“I had dropped out of school for over a year. I was a shut-in! I
had pimples and boils, and wore glasses. I was thin and so weak I
had to wear a back brace and couldn’t participate in sports. I didn’t
want anyone to see me. I was weak and sick. I used to have blinding
headaches every day and I couldn’t stand the pain. I wanted to get
out of this body I had. Paul Bragg told me I could be born again and
be healthy, strong and fit if I changed to The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle.
He asked me, ‘What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?’
And I told him, ‘Cakes, pies, ice cream, and candy!’ He said, ‘Jack,
you are a walking garbage can.’ That night I got down on my knees,
by the side of my bed, and I prayed. I didn’t say, ‘God, make me a Mr.
America.’ I said, ‘God, please give me the will-power and intestinal
fortitude to refrain from eating unhealthy, lifeless foods when the
urge comes over me. Please give me strength to exercise when I don’t
feel like it. God was good and inspired me to be strong and healthy!”
LaLanne Thanks Bragg for Healthy, Long Life!
