All sorts of naturopaths, zozhniki and ardent propagandists healthy lifestyles the world is not to say that abounds. But sometimes there are outstanding personalities among them. That was Paul Bragg.





In a healthy body healthy mind. And for this it must be hungry. This is the general idea of the teachings of an American figure in the field alternative medicine. Paul Bragg (1895 - 1976) - a very ambiguous and contradictory. In the intricacies of his biography difficult to understand, since he himself repeatedly wrote and talked about one thing, but in reality there were opposites documentary evidence of his words.



It is known that from his youth he was distinguished by poor health, was ill tuberculosis, which prompted the development of their own primitive therapy - air, proper nutrition, moderate exercise.

Then he similarly cured his sister (who he wasn't there). And a little pushing around in different areas and directions activities, opened in 1928 the Bragg Health Center in Los Angeles, where he lured clients in a then rare way - through self-branding. Published articles in the newspaper and even ran a column.



Things went well, and soon trips around the country with lectures began. They were completely free. But following the lecture, individual explanatory advice is no longer available. $20 price tag people don't scared away. After all, this is not such a high price for health.

And although Bragg positioned himself as a doctor, medical The man had no education. Only self-confidence, charm, charisma. And thanks to this, he managed to gain confidence and captivate with his ideas - healthy lifestyle.

"Doctor" threw himself 14 years to his real age in order to to amaze with the youthfulness of their followers at performances. Which is logical you will not be treated by a toothless dentist or have a haircut by hairdresser with crooked haircut.

The audience also liked the theatrical component, which Bragg always brought to the performance for clarity. Then came the book "The Miracle of Fasting" Actually, no surprisingly new ideas in it. Paul did not present. Bragg's work is on the Web, and it's easier to get acquainted with them clearly. The general idea is to eat less, move more nothing new from does not represent himself.

Now some believe that this man was fraudulent and dishonestly earned. Others insist that nothing he did not do anything illegal, because what could be wrong with propaganda healthy lifestyle?



But Bragg can be called one of the pioneers direction of infogypsyism, which is gaining momentum these days. A great gurus and all sorts of bastards with an authoritative air broadcast that they will easily make anyone rich, healthy, happy and successful. Necessary just bury your savings in the Field of Miracles and wait a bit.
