WHY WE WROTE THIS BOOK
My father, Paul C. Bragg, and I have lived exclusively on
Natural Foods . . . scientifically and tastefully prepared, as
shown in this Health Food Cook Book. Many of these recipes
have been in our family for four generations . .. many more have
been gathered during our research travels and lecture tours
throughout the world.
Because we want you to share the Superior State of Radiant
Health .. . with an Abundance of Vitality and Energy .. . that
we have always enjoyed, we have compiled this book for you.
Remember, whoever prepares the family’s meals . . . holds the
health .. . and therefore most of the happiness. . . of all mem-
bers of the family in his/her hands. Careful selection of the
ingredients . . . correct preparation . . . delicate blending of
flavors .. . serving with eye appeal as well as aroma and taste...
all of these are equally important in leading you and your loved
ones on the Glorious Road to Health!
Here is your guide. Follow it! Eat well and stay well! You and
yours will look and feel younger than your calendar years.
Remember, when you are Healthy ... you are Happy.
BRAGG CRUSADES 1990s
Teaching People World-Wide To Live
Healthier, Stronger Lives For A Better World
We love sharing, teaching & giving and you can share this love by being part of
Bragg Crusades World-Wide Outreach. Bragg Crusades is dedicated to helping
others. We feel blessed when your life improves from our teachings in the Bragg
Books & Crusades. It makes our years of service so worthwhile!
The Miracle of Fasting book has been the No. 1 book for 8 years now in
underground Russia. Why? Because we show them how to live a good,
wholesome life ... easy to understand and so easy to follow and it costs less money.
Most healthful lifestyle habits are free. We are continuing with all our teachings,
lectures, Crusades, radio, TV and video outreaches.
My joy & priorities come from God & healthy living. I’m excited about
spreading health world-wide, it’s needed more than ever. My father and I were TV
Health Pioneers, with our program “Health & Happiness” filmed in Hollywood.
It’s thrilling to be a Health Crusader & you will enjoy it also.
By reading the Bragg Self-Health Books you can also gain a new confidence
that you are helping yourself, family & friends to Healthy Principles of Living!
Please call your local health store & book store & ask for the Bragg Books. We
hope to have all the stores stock the Bragg Books so they will be available to all.
I have visions of Health Retreats where people can find radiant health, joy &
rebirth! They will be Recharging - Physically, Mentally, Emotionally & Spiri-
tually. I was reared on Retreats ... holidays & vacations were at Retreat Camp for
precious weeks of growth & recharge. You’ll love them, too!
Weare planning Bragg Recharge Retreats for the 1990s and are just waiting for
the right locations and funding. We can accept all gifts, monetary and land
(appraised value), and we can give a receipt for tax deductions. We could develop
seldom-used ranches, farms and old estates into Recharge Centers for everyone to
rejuvenate their mind, body and soul, and then spread health worldwide. Those
who would like to be part of Bragg Health Crusades, please write to me.
Weare notnew to Retreats ... my Dad pioneered the first health spa (MacFadden’s
Deauville) years ago in Miami Beach & others in Highland Springs, California &
Danville, New York.
Texpend all my energy & funds helping others to help themselves! Genuine love
seeks ways to express itself! I thank you for your love & support. For with your
help we can achieve our goals for the 1990s. I know God will bless you. Your
needed help will be a blessing to the Bragg Crusades. Our 1990s budget is for a
mighty worthwhile cause. I know you, your family & friends will enjoy and benefit
from the teachings & retreats.
