Dr. John Westerdahl, Direc­tor of Bragg Health Sci­ence for Bragg Live Food Prod­ucts and Direc­tor of Bragg Health Insti­tu­te recently attended the Diet and Optimum Health 2013 Conference at Linus Pauling Institute on the campus of Oregon State University. The conference emphasized dietary and lifestyle approaches to improving human health and preventing or treating, including dietary supplements, micronutrients, and antioxidants. The target audience included scientists and health professionals in biochemistry, nutrition, preventative medicine, public health, endocrinology, cardiology, oncology, and gerontology.

The mission of Linus Pauling Institute is:

• Determine the role of diet, micronutrients (vitamins and essential minerals), and phytochemicals (chemicals from plants) in extending healthy lifespan (healthspan) and preventing or treating age-associated diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases
• Examine the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in human health and disease, and the protective effects of dietary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory factors
• Help people everywhere achieve a healthy and productive life, full of vitality, with minimal suffering, and free of cancer and other debilitating diseases

Dr. Patricia Bragg’s Thoughts On Linus Pauling

Dr. Linus Pauling has inspired my father and I for years with the miracles that Vitamin C perform!!! I have seen personally gangrene toes and feet that were ready for amputation saved by Linus Pauling’s method of a slow drip Vitamic C. In a few short days it’s amazing how the gangrene goes away and the limbs are saved! Vitamin C has many lifesaving benefits. My father used Vitamin C. I use it and I believe that it’s one of the miracle vitamins and can help people stay healthy and youthful.  I can recall Linus Pauling saying when you lose a loved one please take ample Vitamin C, twice daily as this will build your immune system up. For many people develop health problems after a loss of a loved one, job or nervous upsets. This can be a big shock to the body. Linus Pauling was a genius of a health crusader and has helped millions of people world wide to take Vitamin C.

With Blessings of Health, Peace & Love!
