I am deeply thankful to Paul and Patricia for my new healthy life! – Len Schneider, Honolulu, Hawaii

Decades of Amazement as Life Rolls By
Where
did our years go? They went by so fast.
When we’re young they
seem to cra-a-wl,
With each decade, they fly past!
At 29 we’re
the center; At 30 we feel supreme
But 40 strikes terror; Life’s
not what it seems.
By 50 we’ve reached maturity; At 60 we accept
seniority.
When we’re filled with excitement of creative
living,
There’s no room for depression and despair!
But at
65, wisdom that comes from experience
Then takes over and we learn
to accept ourselves as we are.
Each new day is a gift to be
treasured,
Enabling us to go far!
At 75, life is for the
living
But it is through our sharing, loving and giving
that we
reach for the Stars of Joy, Peace
and the Possibilities of
Eternity!
–
by Ruth Lubin, 88 years young & going strong, who started writing
poetry & sculpturing at 80!
PS: Ruth is a fan of the Bragg
Healthy Lifestyle for over 58 years!
With Love – Promise Yourself
Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk Health, Happiness and Prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something special in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble and unhappiness.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
– Christian D. Larson (Science of Mind Magazine) - Author and Inspirational Leader

Make Your Body Worry–Proof
As usual, the Greeks created this perfect phrase for this human interrelationship: A strong mind in a strong body. No one has said it better. If you’re mentally upset, you can walk miles – but if physically sick, clear, constructive thinking is virtually impossible. By raising your physical health standards, your mental abilities will increase accordingly. Be on healthy terms with your body, mind and soul to fully balance and enjoy your life, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Being positive is to know what counts and is important in your life. – Martin Grey
If you have been stricken by illness and negative thinking – your new car, your new home, your new big bank balance – all these fade into unimportance until you have regained your vigor and zest for living. – Peter J. Steincrohn, M.D.
If you love Mother Nature, you will see Beauty everywhere. – Van Gogh
Who is strong? He that can conquer his bad habits. – Benjamin Franklin
True wisdom consists in not departing from Mother Nature, but molding our conduct according to her wise laws. – Seneca
Faith and Vision Can Create Miracles For You
When you begin to believe you can be what your inner vision tells you that you can become – that’s when you’re inspired. When you no longer see your weaknesses – but your strengths – then you discover the power and ability to do things you never dreamed of doing before!
During your daily meditation and prayer you must forget your inadequacies and reach inside to find your strength – it’s there! See yourself as who you want to be. Paint a vivid picture in your mind. Concentrate on that image in your meditation and prayer times and carry it with you daily. By following This Bragg Healthy Lifestyle, you are working with God and Mother Nature, powers higher than yourself! You are then living by inspiration, one of the most tremendous forces in this great universe! There is great truth in the Biblical statement that says:
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings as eagles; They shall run, and not be weary; And they shall walk, and not faint.
Those happy, healthy, strong and vigorous people – those people who accomplish greatness – all those of faith, possess a deep spiritual philosophy. They believe that their lives are protected by a Power greater than their own. They believe there is a destiny which guides their lives. Nothing can thwart them! Following the wise Eternal Laws of God and Mother Nature you can accomplish great miracles!
Patricia’s "Angel Gift" to You
Here’s your own "Pocket Angel" to be with you night and day – To guide, protect and show you right from wrong, and help you heal your life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually with Angel Love.
Many people go through their life committing partial suicide. They destroy their health, youth, talents, energies and creative qualities. Indeed, to learn how to be good to oneself is harder than learning how to be good to others. – Joshua Liebman
I cannot overstate the importance of the habit of quiet prayer and meditation for more health of body, mind, and spirit. "In quietness shall be your strength." – Isaiah 30:15
The natural healing force within you is the greatest force in getting well. – Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, 430 B.C.

Your days shall be 120 years. – Genesis 6:3
There is no biological reason why human beings should not reach the age of 150. – Dr. Alexis Carrel, Pioneer Scientist, The Rockefeller Institute
The Toxicless Diet, Body Purification And Healing System Fully Explained
First, we want it definitely understood that this system does not claim to cure disease. No system can "cure" disease. No person can "cure" you of your ailments, aches and pains. Only the internal functions of your own body banish disease! The human body is self-cleansing, self repairing and self-healing! You break a bone, the doctor sets the bone and puts it into a cast. The broken bone knits together again. After a certain number of weeks, the bone is again as strong as it was before the break – sometimes even stronger! There is no special diet, no special foods, no pill, no injection or prescription that can "cure" or mend a broken bone. The internal healing forces are within every human body – these are what rebuild and heal the broken bone!
Only Mother Nature Cures!
Burn this into your consciousness: Only Mother Nature Cures! Every human body has a special built-in healing mechanism. You cut your hand and three to five stitches might be required to close the wound. The doctor cleans, then stitches and bandages the wound and can do no more. Now the miraculous healing mechanism of your body starts mending the wound.
Man’s body was created according to the laws of physics and chemistry, which are the Creator’s own laws. They never vary. His law is written upon every nerve, every muscle, every faculty, which has been entrusted to us. – Henry W. Vollmer, M.D.
The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality. – Herbert Spencer
A healthy body is a guest-chamber for the soul; a sick body is a prison. – Francis Bacon
The human body has one ability not possessed by any machine – the body has the ability to repair and heal itself. – George W. Crile
The World Health Organization reported recently that 24.5 million people worldwide – nearly 50% of the yearly deaths – are victims of just 3 chronic conditions linked to unhealthy lifestyles: circulatory diseases (especially heart attacks and strokes), cancer and lung disease! – US News and World Report
