BTW, to add to names:
Jack LaLanne's older brother (and as far as I know, only sibling), Norman LaLanne, died a few years ago in California, a few months short of 98. Jack just turned 94.
And Jeanne Calment, the French lady who died at 122, had an older sibling, a brother named Francoise, who died at 97. Don't know if she had other siblings though. Her parents were also very long lived.

Could be.
Many years ago, one of my co-workers mentioned that her paternal grandmother had died at age 109 several years earlier in a St. Louis, Mo. nursing home. She'd only been there for about six months. Previously,she'd been able to care for herself in the family home.
She had her first son in Italy at age 14, and her other five sons after coming to the U.S.
At the time of our conv

Wish I had clipped it, but I was doing "Obit searching" on old newspaper microfilm at the library last week (I'm a volunteer for my area at a genealogy website).
The news item (from 1913) was about a lady---Mrs. somebody or other---who had just died in Los Angeles at 105. Likely her death made the local news back then not only because of her very advanced age, but also because she wa

Shelton had "brain damage"? Not according to the rather quirky & lengthy essay by one of his followers, Victoria Bidwell, which is an "external link" from his Wikipedia page.

BTW, the gravestone photo is from the old Cottonwood Cemetery in Cottonwood, AZ where Walker (& Mrs.) lived over half a decade before he died.

Don't know if Hugh Hefner would be a good role model to this health community. From various interviews, he's obviously a devotee of diet soft drinks---either Coke or Pepsi, can't remember which---consuming upwards of a dozen cans/bottles a day.
As to Dr. Walker, there's absolutely no evidence he was in good health at his death at 99. I did his family genealogy, and from that wrote the articl

Just as an academic "fact", Paul Bragg, in his earliest books, "Cure Yourself", 1929 & "Four Generation Health Food Cookbook & Menus", 1941, says to avoid vinegar, as "it is very rich in acetic acid and it is difficult to digest." (from 1941 book).
I guess later on, he changed his mind??

Interesting, but there was only a total of 19 patients (with complete records) & likely half were on wheatgrass juice & half on a placebo (which would mimic in taste wheatgrass juice). Nine patients on each side does't seem like a lot to reach any conclusion. And it isn't clear from the abstract whether all patients on the wheatgrass regimen responded or just some more than on the place

Yes, no guarantees.
My husband left an hour ago for Lake Tahoe, CA & down-hill skiing. He'll be 80 (that's 8-0) on May 30 of this year (which means he'll be able to ski free at even more resorts).
And he eats everything, including meat twice a day.
Don't know what that "proves" though...

On the other hand, maybe he only lived to 82, or even 62? Sounds like a "nobody really knows" situation...so why report it as "fact"??

Sorry but that "Luigi age story" sounds like the usual Norman Walker/Paul Bragg age stories. If you look at Wikipedia, his birth year/age at death appears to be all over the ballpark. And sometimes he's called "Alvise".

PubMed currently has an abstract up on this University of Parma study.
Since the Italian researchers seem to have been comparing apples to apples...or fresh broccoli to fresh brocolli, versus, say canned or frozen, I don't see any "follow the money" agenda here.

OK, just checked. According to the June 9, 1964 issue of The Los Angeles Times, Sullins was convicted & sentenced to one year in jail, plus assessed a $2,000 fine. Was not able to read the full article in their archives; only a short abstract.

I did find this criminal case that Dr. Shelton was prominently involved in:
From the Nevada State Journal, May 10, 1964:
"SAN DIEGO, Calif (UPI)
"A health faddist on trial for involuntary manslaughter admitted under cross-examination he stopped making entries in a log on the condition of his sick daughter three days before she died."

Well yeh, yeh, yeh...but did the Shelton, et al followers fabricate this "Hal Conrad" story?
I've mentioned previously that I do genealogy as a hobby & prefer to look for "facts" not "fantasies". I would think the original poster was interested in the former, not the latter, but I guesss we should let him speak for himself since he clearly wanted specific inf

One of the problems is that the losing lawsuit cited by Shelton's followers (& at Wikipedia) had to do with an (alleged) patient, later decedent, named "Hal Conrad" and that Mrs. Conrad was awarded $890,000.
However, you will note that the case cited in the 1982 LA legal newspaper had to do with the late "William Carlton" & bronchial pneumonia, and the jury award wa

May not be the same case, but in the on-line "Fit For Life" article by James J. Kenney, Ph.D, R.D., re the Diamonds' book, is the following paragraph:
"On September 21, 1982, the Los Angeles Daily Journal reported that a federal court jury had awarded $873,000 to the survivors of William Carlton, a Los Altos man who died after being on a diet of distilled water for 30 days at

Ok, just checked. And you'll find the Norman Walker Eulogy beginning on Page "4" of the "Talk About Juicing" section of the Norwalk Juicing Community Forum. Disregard the date it indicated it started appearing as they revamped that whole forum fairly recently & the original posting dates for the "old stuff", for some reason, haven't correctly caught up yet.

If you're interested in Norman Walker's life, & where he was when, his publisher's Eulogy, "A Gift of Love From Dr. Norman W. Walker", might still be in the archives of the Norwalk Juicer Community Forum. Although there was about zilch on his family background & early life, reading it gave me some hints on finding the information for writing my own article.

I didn't say Walker had Parkinsons; only that I "heard" (from two different sources) that was the case. However, some people who "claim" to know him tell a different story...at least that's what I "heard". Nobody has produced his death certificate that I know of.
I only did research on Norman Walker's family background & early years in the U.S. as, bottom

Really? I heard he had Parkinsons---or a Parkinsons-like condition---in the last decade of his life. And was in pretty poor shape health-wise at his death.
Interestingly, Donald Whiteside, his book publisher, said in his "Walker Eulogy" that Norman & Mrs. Walker left Phoenix, AZ about 6 years before his death for tiny, isolated Cottonwood, and he ceased having personal communic

I have No idea as to what Norman W. Walker ate for breakfast, lunch & dinner over 20 years ago. However I did the on-line genealogy on Norman's background for Chet Day's website last year, which is now linked from the Norman Wardhaugh Walker Wikipedia page.
