Re: What did Price die of?

[Guest guest]

Shari I don't actually know the answer to your question however to

some degree I don't know if the proof would be in the pudding here or

not. What you eat is not the only determinant of your longevity and

if you consider the difficulty and strain he and his wife had to

endure in travelling to the places they travelled at the time in

which they did it, the stress level was immense. It is stressful to

fly to Africa and go on a safari right now in 2002, imagine what it

was like 70 years ago. In addition to that many men and women

pioneers who had enormous battles to fight day in day out were under

tremendous pressure and stress to defend their positions and this

also did not help their longevity either. Folks like Bragg actually

had time to take good care of themselves, so much time in fact he had

time to be surfing in his 80's I believe which is how he died. So

the lifestyle they were afforded also is a significant factor in

their longevity.

thinking...Weston Price was not that old when he died, 70's? Did he

follow his own advice? What did he die from? After all, the proof

is in the pudding, right?

IIRC Bragg died of " natural causes " in his 90s, but he had almost

drowned while swimming, about a year before he actually died, which

was blamed for stressing his body. I went looking at www.bragg.com,

and didn't find any cause of death, but he did make it to at least

94: http://www.bragg.com/peopleart.html

ME:

I think one difference would be that the aforementioned men pointed to

themselves as examples to follow while Weston Price pointed to others as

examples to follow. So while I should want to know if Bragg's diet worked

for him if I am considering it as a lifestyle, in Price's case my first

impulse is whether the diet he talked about worked as *observed* by him.

In contrast to most health food gurus, Dr. Price himself does not come

across as the subject for debate.

It should also be noted that in broad general terms all of the men above

(and others like Bernard Jensen) followed some aspect of the Nutrition

and Physical Degeneration, i.e. they made judicious use of animal

products in their pursuit of health. Yes, some more so than others, but

that is precisely what we find in Dr. Price's work.

Nevertheless, a fair and balanced biography of Dr. Price would be

extremely helpful and valuable.
