APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, THE WONDER "DRUG"
OF YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Sarah-Kate Lynch of the New Zealand Herald wrote about Dr. Patricia
Bragg:
"I've never had a coke, never had
a beer or vodka, and these," says American health crusader, Dr.
Patricia Bragg, thrusting her fingers towards me,"are virgin nails,
all 10 of them. I have never worn nail polish. I don't need a girdle and
I don't need a bra."
I've come to visit this eccentric, bright 5-foot
nutritionist …. to see what she has to say that has millions of
Americans following her advice. She's the author of 22 books, one which
promotes three glasses daily of 1 to 2 teaspoons equally of raw, organic
apple cider vinegar and raw honey in a glass of distilled water to keep
old age at bay. (Over 5 million copies sold.) "I specialize in
longevity," she tells me, and practicing what she preaches
certainly seems to have worked for her; although it's hard to tell
exactly how well because her age is a secret. She demonstrates how
limber she is and shows me how she used to dance with Fred Astaire, Gene
Kelly and Arthur Murray; all of whom she advised on how to stay healthy
and fit. She says that good posture equals instant youthfulness! I
realize that no matter what age, this tiny, colorful powerhouse has more
energy than 100,000 slobs put together.
"I love being a Health Crusader sharing the
miracles of healthy living," she says. She credits her father, Paul
C. Bragg with starting the health-food movement in America after making
a pact with God at 16 to do just that if he survived the tuberculosis
that was killing him. She continues his work, traveling the world
lecturing on the benefits of healthy eating, selling her Bragg Healthy
Lifestyle books and promoting her Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar and her
Liquid Aminos…….
