Here is an excellent Paul Bragg article form 1975 that MikeNY sent me.

I want to add this. Nowadays you have naysayers who wag the tongue and point the finger because SUPPOSEDLY a guy did some research and found that Paul wasn't as old as he claimed to be as well as many other things that discredited him.

True? Maybe, maybe not. In this internet age you can never believe 90% of what you see and hear. What is not heard are the many people who corroborate what Paul Bragg said and did; as well as the countless people he helped. But what has been picked up as gospel is the one guy who has tried to discredit him and now it is repeated as truth.

Hey Greg,

Noel Johnson credited Paul Bragg with saving his life. Noel had highest admiration and nothing but good to say about Paul Bragg. Great article.

I loved that article, just stumbled across it. I have most of Paul Braggs books, and think now more then ever we need the simple wisdom he taught. Gave copies of his books to family and friends, especially Nature's Healing System for Better Eyesight and a few other of his best books. I have read the attacks on Paul Bragg and the slander, he helped a lot of people. When I lived in California in grad school, he was still remembered very fondly by people there and was well thought of.

PS: A lot of Paul Bragg books are classics, like Fasting and his book on Building Strng Feet, as we all get older we need his books, Get foot pain and you'll want his book. Plus Paul Bragg was a trainer for the Rich & Famous in Hollywood & California.

hey guys
Greg wenever people dont like or understand what others say they try to mock and discredit,i got a few bragg books myself i think the guy was a genius way before his time,i watched a tv programme the other day about fasting they went into more scientific theories and such which i enjoyed thouroughly but mr B was promoting these ideas years ago im going to dig my fasting book out and have another read this weekend.

I, too, have several of Paul Bragg's books, and I have benefited from them. I don't doubt the good health advice he dispensed throughout his life helped many.

The People magazine article claims he "had wrestled for the U.S. in the 1908 and 1912 Olympics". I cannot recall from my reading of his books him mentioning that he was an Olympic athlete. He did seem to like to toot his own horn, and I find it hard to believe he would have failed to mention that fact. An online search of Olympic rosters from the 1908 and 1912 games does not show a Paul Bragg as a member of the U.S. team.

If he was not a member of the U.S. Olympic team and he allowed People's assertion to stand, that's akin to claiming to be a military veteran when one isn't. That doesn't discredit all the good works he did, but it certainly a blemish on his record.

No smoking gun there. The article was wrong. Paul Bragg, as far as I know didn't have a PHD either.

One of my favorite books.. well a booklet actually.. is Paul Bragg's "Super Brain Breathing". A lot of it ties in with what John says about getting oxygenated blood to the muscles.

I do not know about a PhD but Paul Bragg was reportedly a Naturopathic Doctor and he worked as a Physical Therapist. The Bragg site notes a ND and PhD http://www.bragg.com/about/paul.html but not who granted the PhD.

MetryOp I do not think that the subject of an article had the right to prior review of an article in 1975, and wouldn't know if Paul Bragg had tried to clear the record.

Hey Friends,


I judge Paul Bragg's works by the results achieved and the lives transformed.
