59Paul C. Bragg’s South Seas Health Adventure
I had thoroughly enjoyed living on my Toxicless Diet,
Body Purification and Healing System for many years with
great results. Through the years I had progressively increased
my intake of raw fruits and raw vegetables and lightly cooked
vegetables. I had not eaten a regular breakfast for years.
I had fasted faithfully for one 24 to 36 hour period weekly
for many years and had taken many, many cleansing fasts –
some lasting from 7 to 10 days or longer.
Now I was ready to go to the South Sea Islands and
discover if it was possible to live on a 100% Toxicless Diet.
I was seeking the Garden of Eden! I gave myself a full year
for the experiment. I sailed to Tahiti and based myself
there. I also visited the smaller islands around Tahiti and
I never stopped enjoying and living The Toxicless Diet, Body
Purification and Healing System.
In Tahiti my diet was exclusively made up of raw tropical
fruits and vegetables and lightly cooked vegetables. During
this year I did not eat fish or flesh of any kind and no eggs,
grains or any dairy products. I ate some raw nuts and seeds,
especially when I took long trips – paddling the heavy outrigger
canoe to the outer islands or while climbing mountains.
I daily exposed my body to the gentle early morning and
late afternoon sun rays. I was often on lonely, deserted South
Sea beaches where I could live at times absolutely nude as
Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden. It was great!
With the pure, clean Toxicless Diet and the warm
tropical sun, I became like one of the South Sea Natives.
In fact, when people did see me they would never believe I
belonged to the Caucasian race! My skin and muscle tone
were absolutely without a flaw. My strength, endurance,
vitality, energy and vigor were supreme. Never before had
I attained the physical and internal perfection that I
reached on that South Sea Adventure!
One of the most tragic things... about human nature is that all of us tend to
put off living. We are dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon
- instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
