Brilliant post Mouseclick.
I have missed much while being away for a few days.
Jack La Lanne has been a tremendous influence on the health/exercise/right-living concept in America, and where as you say he was profoundly influenced by Paul Bragg, but a huge oversight by most health advocates of today was the influence of one of Braggs close friends and contemporaries................Bernarr MacFadden..........

Search the sublinks from this site and you could just be amazed.
One of the physical feats that Macfadden performed was to tear a whole pack of playing cards in two.......and then proceed to do the same with each half using only his bare hands.........his stature was only slight.
The forgotten man of true health and fitness and regarded by many as "The Father of Physical Culture", which I totally agree with.
