There 
are two kinds of chemicals, inorganic and organic. The inorganic chemicals like 
chlorine, alum and sodium fluoride 
cannot be utilized in a healthy way 
by the living tissues of the body and 
can only cause harm! Our body chemistr y is composed of 
19 organic minerals, which must come from a living sour ce 
or one that was once alive. When we eat an apple or any 
other fruit or vegetable, that substance is composed of 
living organic minerals. It has a certain length of life 
after being gathered from the earth, vine or tree. The 
same goes for animal foods, fish, milk, cheese and eggs. To preserve health is a moral and religious duty, for health is the basis 
for all social virtues. We can no longer be as useful when not well. – Dr. Samuel Johnson, Father of Dictionaries 
Health in a human being is the perfection of bodily 
organization, intellectual energy and moral power. – T.L. Nichols, M.D. Organic minerals are vitally 
important in keeping us alive and 
healthy! If we were cast away on a 
barren, uninhabited island where 
nothing was growing, we would 
slowly star ve to death. Even though 
the soil beneath our feet contains 
16 inorganic minerals, our bodies cannot absorb them 
efficiently enough to sustain life. Only a living plant’ s 
roots has the power to extract inorganic minerals from 
the earth and to transform them into useful organic 
foods to nourish our miracle working bodies. When my father was on an expedition to China 
many years ago, one part of the countr y was suffering 
from drought and famine. W ith his own eyes he saw 
poor, star ving people heating and eating earth because 
of the lack of food! They died horrible deaths from 
starvation, because they could not get the needed 
nourishment from the inorganic minerals in the dirt. For years we’ve heard people say that certain waters 
were “rich in all the minerals.” What kind of minerals 
are they talking about? Inorganic or organic? Humans do not have the same chemistry as plants. Only living plants can convert an inorganic mineral into 
an organic mineral. As you read here, you will learn what 
harm inorganic minerals can do to your body and brain. Because of dietar y deficiencies, some children and 
young animals tr y eating dirt. They can become deathly 
ill, not from the germs in the dirt, but from the inorganic 
minerals which can cause sickness and even death! 13 
Premature old age is a highly toxic condition caused by
nutritional and water deficiencies and living an unhealthy lifestyle. DRINK, DRINK, DRINK. You can easily sweat away more than a quart of water 
during an hour of strenuous exercise. Sweat rates of nearly a gallon an hour 
have been reported in some athletes. For optimal hydration during strenuous 
endurance exercise, drink at least 16 to 20 ounces of fluid 2 hours before 
exercising and another 8 ounces 15 to 30 minutes before. While exercising, 
sip 4 to 6 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards, drink enough to 
replace the fluid you’ve sweated off; drink one pint for each pound lost. Cows Refused Inorganic Minerals 
During my father’ s boyhood on a V irginia farm, his 
family raised dair y cattle. Salesmen would come to the 
farm to sell various kinds of feed. Dad remembers when 
his father pur chased cattle food labeled “The Mighty 
Mineral Cattle Food”. It was supposed to have lots of 
calcium, magnesium and other important minerals to 
help build strong cows that would produce extra milk. However , all of the minerals in this “mighty” cattle food 
were derived from powdered limestone and other 
inorganic sour ces:  calcium carbonate and magnesium 
carbonate, etc. When this inorganic mineral formula was 
mixed with organic food, the cattle absolutely refused 
to eat the feed. Their innate dietar y instincts pr evented 
them from eating powdered limestone. All local farmers 
had the same experience. This worthless, inorganic 
mineral feed was taken of f the market. see www .mad-cow .org 
14 Beware of Dangerous Inorganic Minerals 
And T oxins in Our Drinking W ater 
As previously noted, chlorine, alum and other 
inorganic minerals such as calcium carbonate, 
magnesium carbonate and potassium carbonate are used 
to “purify” our drinking water . Keep in mind the human 
body needs hydrogen and oxygen as a natural solvent 
in its inter nal chemistr y. Therefore our bodies need a 
constant supply of clean water . Where to get it? Even 
untreated, so-called “pure” water from springs, wells, 
etc. often contains some traces of inorganic minerals 
and toxic pollutants fr om industr y, farms, fertilizers, etc. This is the irony of Mother Nature: that this fluid – 
without which man can barely exist more than 72 hours 
before lapsing into a semi-comatose state – contains in 
most of its forms the exact inorganic chemicals which 
bring about the ultimate premature ageing of man and 
animals. Major aluminum companies want to pollute 
all our water with sodium fluoride, their deadly waste 
product they produce through aluminum processing. Kids exposed to high levels of fluoride have lower IQs. – Fluoride Magazine Fluorine is a Deadly Poison 
Millions upon millions of innocent people have been 
brainwashed by the aluminum companies to erroneously 
believe that adding sodium fluoride to our drinking water 
will reduce tooth decay in our children. Over 150 million 
Americans drink a daily dose of sodium fluoride in their 
water without knowing of it! Fluorine, the gangster of 
the chemical under world, 
made the deadly atomic 
bomb possible. The only 
scientific way to free the 
necessar y quantities of 
fissionable Uranium 235, 
buried in the inert mass of 
its parent U-238, is to for ce uranium hexafluoride gas 
through many acres of porous barriers. The next part of 
the process gradually concentrates the elements, creating 
deadly “Hex”, a deadly vicious hazard from radiation. These 11 Associations, back in 1996

15 Millions of Americans drink water spiked with a 
sodium fluoride solution. A chemical cousin of sodium, 
fluorine is not as toxic as “Hex” . . . but toxic enough, in 
high concentrations, to be used as a standard roach and 
rat killer and a deadly pesticide. Yet this terrible, deadly sodium fluoride, injected 
virtually by government edict into drinking water in the 
proportion of 1.2 parts per million ( PPM), has been 
declared by the United States Public Health Service to 
be “absolutely safe for all human consumption”. Every 
qualified chemist knows that such “absolute safety” is 
not only unattainable, but a total illusion! The Grim Stor y Behind Fluoridation 
16 It was in the year 1939 that a famous institute in the 
eastern part of the United States commissioned their 
biochemist to find a use for the sodium fluoride wastes 
produced by aluminum foundries. Some 45 other 
industries also had fluoride disposal problems. Many 
were tormented by expensive damage suits arising from 
the noxious pollution effects of the poison on livestock 
and crops. Oil refineries, metal smelters, tile, brick, steel, 
fertilizer and ceramic plants and the Atomic Energy 
Commission installations were involved. The cost to 
eliminate this deadly chemical was ver y costly . Was there 
no way this by-product could be put to a profitable use? Now this biochemist was a clever and cunning man. He came up with a big money-making idea: why not 
dissolve the stuff in drinking water? He had absolutely no 
medical background and had not conducted any clinical 
resear ch into the effects of sodium fluoride on our body’ s 
chemistr y. His idea went over big with companies who 
were burdened by what to do with sodium fluoride wastes. Russian studies back in the 1970s demonstrated that workers suffering 
from exposure to fluoride in the workplace exhibited signs of impaired 
mental functioning. – Health Action Network – www.hans.org 
From the British Journal Nature, 1986 : Researcher Mark Diesendorf assessed 
24 studies from 8 countries and found cavity rates had declined equally in 
fluoridated and nonfluoridated areas, showing fluoridation isn’t necessary! The USA leads the world in heart diseases, strokes, cancers and diabetes ! The next step was not difficult . . . turn the idea over 
to clever advertising companies and let them brainwash 
the public into believing that the greatest health 
measure in modern times had been discovered. Give a 
“tall tale” to the gullible American public and if it sounds 
scientific, they will bite – hook, line and sinker! So they 
used the tall tale that sodium fluoride in drinking water 
would prevent tooth decay in children, as they found a 
Texas town that had naturally occurring fluoride and it 
seemed fewer dental cavities. The public was eager to 
hear mor e. At last, a way to prevent tooth decay! Sadly , 
most became convinced at first – despite that every smart 
thinking person knows that tooth decay comes from 
poor nutrition and especially the high consumption of 
all the refined sugar drinks, candy and products! Big business and large professional organizations 
have a way of sticking together . Remember , they have 
the powerful m edia behind them  because of  econom ic 
control exerted by the publishers’ chief sour ce of 
income – adver tising! With the aid of all the  television, 
radio, newspapers and m agazines, the major business, 
professional and social organizations promoted the ‘great 
merits’ of sodium  fluoride – although totally false and 
dangerous – to the innocent, believing American people. Any person who publicly questioned this poisoning 
of drinking water with sodium fluoride was called 
ignorant, uninformed and backward! Most doctors and 
dentists surrender ed to these powerful for ces for fear 
of being discredited by their professional associations! But, you can always find some honest and sincere 
professionals who fight for truth –  no matter how others 
might ridicule them! Extreme pressures were put upon 
all U.S. city and state governm ents to fluoridate the 
drinking water and still are! Big business and large 
professional organizations, which can act like the 
Mafia, don ’t take “No” for an answer! They know how 
to pressure state, city and water officials to think 
and take action their way , often not for good! 17 
Health risks associated with our current fluoride intake (exceeds 6 mg/day) can 
be described in a nutshell: An intake of 5 mg/day will cause average individuals 
to develop crippling deformities of the spine and major joints within a lifetime. 18Fluoridation can cause tooth enamel mottling, poor 
health, mongolism in infants and increases the 
growth of cancer cells. We must all demand safe, pur e water! Shocking Historical Fluoride Facts 
•	Adolf Hitler sought a means to make people docile 
and suggestible. He discovered that odorless sodium 
fluoride slowly poisons and makes dormant the small 
tissue in the brain’ s left rear occipital lobe that 
normally helps a person resist domination. Fluoride 
allows muscles to move one way , but not relax. In 
large doses fluoride can cause paralysis and death. •	Sodium fluoride is classified with arsenic and cyanide 
as a dangerous poison and is used in rat poison. Hydrogen fluoride is an industrial pollutant. It is 
illegal to sell or give away a fluoride pill of 1 mg. 
Fluoride slowly destr oys the body’ s self-repair and 
rejuvenation capabilities causing premature ageing, 
bone damage and defor mities. •	Fluoride increases the risk of hip fractures up to 41%. The Fluoridation Fiasco* 
•	In recent years, fluoridation of our water supply has 
been shown not only ineffective in preventing tooth 
decay , but it poisons the body! How and why should 
public health policy and the American media live with 
and perpetuate this toxic sham? •	At first, industr y could dispose of fluoride legally only 
in small amounts by selling it to insecticide and rat 
poison manufacturers. Then a commer cial outlet was 
devised in the mid 1930s when a connection was 
made between a water supply bearing traces of natural 
fluoride and lower rates of tooth decay . Even after 
this connection was proven erroneous, it became a 
political, not a scientific issue! Many opponents 
originally started out as proponents, but changed 
their minds after closer looks at mounting evidence. They started viewing it as a capitalist-style con job of 
epic proportions poured down American throats. * Excerpts from an article by Gary Null called The Fluoridation Fiasco. More Fluoridation Fiasco Facts: 
•	The Sierra Club found in a study that people in 
unfluoridated developing nations have fewer dental 
caries than those living in industrialized nations. They 
concluded “fluoride is not essential to dental health.” 
•	In British Columbia, only 11% of the population 
drinks fluoridated water ,  as opposed to 40-70% in 
other Canadian regions. Y et British Columbia has the 
lowest rate of tooth decay in Canada, with the lowest 
rates of dental caries occurring in areas of the province 
where the water is not fluoridated. •	In 1986-87, 39,000 school children between ages 5 
and 17, living in 84 areas around the countr y, were 
studied. 3 of the places were fluoridated, 3 were 
partially fluoridated and 3 were not. Results showed 
no statistically significant differences in dental decay 
rates between fluoridated and unfluoridated cities. •	A World Health Organization sur vey reports a decline 
of dental decay in W estern Europe, which is 98% 
unfluoridated. Europe’ s declining dental decay rates 
are equal to and sometimes lower than U.S. rates. •	A 1992 University of Arizona study yielded surprising 
results when they found that “the more fluoride a 
child drinks, the more cavities appear in the teeth.” 
•	All the Native American Indian Reser vations are now 
fluoridated by law . Childr en living on them have 
more incidences of dental decay and other oral health 
problems, caused by high sugar , refined foods, etc., 
than do children living in other U .S. communities! •	Most of W estern Europe has rejected fluoridation on 
the grounds that it is unsafe! Sweden’ s Nobel Medical 
Institute recommended against fluoridation and the 
process was banned. The Netherlands outlawed the 
practice in 1976. France decided against it after 
consulting with its Pasteur Institute. W est Germany , 
now Germany , rejected the practice because 1 ppm 
was dangerously “close to the dose at which long-
term damage to the human body is to be expected.”

20 More Fluoridation Fiasco Facts: 
•	J. William Hirzy , Ph.D. , Senior V ice-President of the 
National Federation of Federal Employees stated in a 
letter , July 2,1997 to Jeff Green, of Citizens for Safe 
Drinking W ater, “I am pleased to r eport that our 
union, which represents and is comprised of the 
scientists, lawyers, engineers and other professionals 
at the headquarters in W ashington, D.C. of the US 
Envir onmental Protection Agency , has voted to co­
sponsor the California Citizen’ s Petition to prohibit 
fluoridation. The evidence over the last 11 years 
indicates a causal link between fluoride and cancer , 
genetic damage, neurological impairment, bone 
pathology and lower IQ in childr en. W e conclude that 
the health and welfar e of the public is NOT ser ved by 
the addition of fluoride to the public water supply!” 
•	Some fruit juices contain shocking amounts of 
fluoride, with some brands of grape juice containing 
much higher levels – up to a highly toxic 6.8 ppm! The use of fluoride-containing insecticides in grape 
crops is a factor in these high levels. Cooking can 
greatly increase a food’ s fluoride content. Also, keep 
in mind that toxic fluoride is also an ingredient in 
pharmaceuticals, aerosols, insecticides and pesticides. Common fluoride levels in toothpaste are 1000 ppm. When fluoride is ingested, about 93% is absorbed into 
the bloodstream and what is not excreted is deposited 
in the bones and teeth of the body – Shocking Facts! •	Fluoride use is toxic, absolutely unsafe and should be 
stopped immediately! The government feels that its 
central concer n is to pr otect industry , therefore the 
solution to pollution is dilution! Y ou poison everyone 
a little bit rather than poison a few people a lot. This 
way, people don’ t know what’ s going on. Any public 
health official who criticizes the practice of toxic 
fluoridation is at risk of losing his job. Shocking: 
National T oxicology Pr ogram Resear chers downgraded 
cancers caused by fluoridation after being coer ced by 
superiors to change their shocking, truthful findings. Some studen ts drink deeply at the fountain of  knowledge. Others take little sips . – Paul C. Bragg, N.D., Ph.D.
•	Fluoride has been proven to cause osteosar coma, a 
rare bone cancer; squamous cell car cinoma in the 
mouth; fluorosis of the teeth; osteosclerosis of the 
long bones; liver cancer; chromosome aberrations; 
genetic damage; and skeletal fluorosis and deformities. B. Spittle, author of Psychophar macology of fluoride: a 
review states “Ther e appears to be evidence that 
chronic exposure to fluoride may be linked with 
cerebral impairment that affects particularly the 
concentration and memor y in some individuals.”

Studies show fluoride in all its many uses, 
including public drinking water , causes cancer: 
•	The overwhelming evidence shows that fluoridation 
is causing an increase in bone cancer and deaths 
among males under 20. •	The growing increase in bone cancer attributable to 
fluoridation may be due to also an increase in 
osteosar coma, all caused by fluoride. •	The overall preponderance of evidence shows that 
fluoridation is causing an increase in oral (mouth) 
cancer among human populations. Don’ t use fluoride 
toothpastes or give your dentist consent to do fluoride 
gel treatments or use fluoride polishing paste. •	Fluoride has been linked to many health problems: 
• bone and oral cancers in animals and humans 
• an ability to inhibit the DNA repair enzyme system 
• it accelerates tumor growth • it inhibits the immune 
system • it causes genetic damage in a number of 
different cell lines and induces melanotic tumors, 
fibrosar comas, etc. • other tumors and cancers 
strongly indicate that fluoride has a generalized effect 
of increasing them overall. •	According to our estimates, over 10,000 people in 
the United States die of cancer each year due to 
fluoridation of public drinking water . * Excerpted from Fluoride, The Aging Factor  by Dr. John Yiamouyiannis

sunlight and fresh air – add 
up to physical unfitness. 97% of people today are 
physically unfit and 65% are 
overweight! Most people eat 
such an unhealthy diet that 
they suffer from sickness and

28 Physical fatigue and weariness make them more inactive 
than ever . They just don’t have the “Go Power” to lead 
active physical lives. As a 
consequence, their exterior as 
well as interior muscles suffer 
from increasing flabbiness. The 
greatest “disease” today is the 
physical deterioration of the 
human body at all ages . Let’s take a good, hard look 
at our young people. Never in 
the entir e history of th e world 
have so many drugs been used 
by people under thirty! Why do 
young people turn to drugs to chronic fatigue. He has no 
energy, vitality, strength orkeep them going? Just take a ambition. He suffers from 
look at the “junk” and “trash” extreme weariness physically 
and mentally, which is toxicthey eat – that tells the entire state of physical deterioration.sad story! They do not derive 
enough n utrients, vitamins and minerals f rom their daily 
diet! In their ignorance, they try to gain energy by using 
harmful stimulants such as coffee, sugared drinks, 
tobacco, alcohol  and drugs. These d eficient, “d ope 
addicts” are in danger of having children who are born 
sickly and some with breathing and birth defects! For many people, health is something they value only 
when they have lost it or are in danger of losing it. W e 
repeat, “W e live in a sick, sick, world – and it’ s getting 
sicker ever y day!” T ake heed, repent and change now! “Health” is an old Anglo-Saxon word meaning 
“soundness.” The ancient Greek concept of “a sound mind 
in a sound body” (mens sana in corpor e sana) gives the true 
picture of health. W e have to place the adjective “good” 
with this word “health” only when we contrast it with the 
phrase “ill health” or “lack of soundness.”

ourselves, we would see the lungs taking air into their 
delicately fashioned chambers. If we smoked, we would A healthy , energetic body and an alert, keen, healthy 
mind make it possible for human beings to cope with 
and bear the frustrations, worries, cares, tensions and 
stresses of life a nd yet enjoy life and the joys of this world 
. . . even as confused , feverish and mixed-up as it is today ! Where there is vigorous health, there is not even an 
awareness of the complex mechanisms and chemistry that 
go on inside of us to make this possible. W ithin our 
bodies, the most magnificent chemical and mechanical 
procedures known and unknown t o man are carried on. We take our health for granted, as we do the moon 
and the sun – usually even neglecting to be thankful. We get up in the morning after a sound night’ s sleep, 
ready to take on the day’ s work and expect to end the 
day comfortably tired. It’ s best to earn your sleep with 
work and exer cise – then you will sleep better for sur e! see tobacco’ s vicious nicotine and tars coating these 
pink, beautiful, healthy or gans to a sticky , deadly black. If you smoke – stop now! The str ong sur vive longer! We would see the heart receiving blood through 
numerous intricate channels from the billions of our 
body’ s cells and pumping it out, refreshed and purified, 
by another route back to these same tissues. W e would 
get an exact picture of our arteries, veins and capillaries. Wecould see how much corrosion is taking place because 
of our consumption of the heavy inorganic minerals and 
toxic chemicals that are put into our drinking water . If 
we could examine our arteries closely , we would see that 
calcium carbonate and its associates are lining these pipes 
and making them brittle – beginning to literally turn 
our bodies into stone. Oh, if ever yone could see what 
inorganic minerals do to the arteries – they would be 
sure to follow the wise advice given in this book! Remember , we ar e as young as our arteries! Nature is the ultimate devine mystery –  www.wyland.com If we could look inside ourselves, we would also see 
the digestive tract performing miraculous changes to the 
foods and drinks we consume. Wewould see it transform salads, 
raw nuts, seeds, raw and cooked 
organic vegetables, fruits and 
other healthy foods into vital 
substances our bodies’ cells need 
and can use. People who live on 
dead, devitalized diets would see 
how the body’ s chemistr y labors 
to handle burgers, hot dogs, 
processed deli meats, high fat and sugar foods, ice cream, 
candy , colas and all other “fast food trash” that insults, 
sickens and clogs their digestive tracts and bodies! Nitrates and nitrites are 
harmful food additives. If we could get a full view of the 
largest or gan in the body , the liver , 
we would see how it struggles to 
handle alcohol, coffee, tea, cola, soft 
drinks and other unhealthy liquids. We would see the disastr ous effects 
of the dangerous inorganic chemicals 
that are added to our drinking water 
by man. Also, Mother Nature can often do more harm 
than man by contaminating water with inorganic 
minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium 
carbonates and many other substances. Looking closely , 
we would see that the liver is hardening into stone. Thousands of people die from a disease known as 
cirrhosis of the liver – fibrosis, which is a hardening 
caused by excessive formation of connective tissue 
followed by contraction of the liver . Both hard water’ s 
inorganic minerals and alcohol consumption hardens 
the liver . The world is recklessly consuming toxic alcohol 
products which is leading to grave health problems –

Your Body’ s Many Cries for W ater;
 You Ar e Not Sick, Y ou Ar e Thirsty . These powerful quotes from  F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.’s  book 
• Pure water is a natural medication for a variety of health conditions. • Chronic cellular dehydration can painfully and prematurely kill. Its initial 
outward manifestations have until now been erroneously labeled 
as diseases of unknown origin. • For the process of digestion of food, water is the most essential ingredient. If the body has the necessary water in it before we eat food, the battle 
against cholesterol formation in the blood vessels might be won. • Cholesterol production in the cell membrane is a part of the cell survival 
system. It is a necessary substance. Its excess denotes dehydration. • Pure water is the cheapest form of medicine to a dehydrated body! Visit Dr. Batmanghelidj’s website: www.watercure.com Hardening of Arteries is Deadly 
On several occasions during my father’ s boyhood in 
Virginia, his parents took him to the famous Luray 
Limestone Caver ns. There he saw how , drop by drop, 
water loaded with limestone slowly formed the stalactites 
and stalagmites over eons of time. These were huge 
formations created by deposits of the inorganic minerals 
that are ever-present in most drinking water . Calcium carbonate, or lime, is a very important 
ingredient in making cement or concrete. This catalytic 
agent is responsible for the hardening of concrete. When 
taken into the body chemistr y and subjected to the 
process of natural metabolism through the years, this 
mineral becomes the principal troublemaker responsible 
for what is called “hardening of the arteries.” Doctors 
call this degenerative arterial condition “arteriosclerosis,” 
and most people believe it to be a natural condition that 
comes with the passing of the years. This is “herd 
mentality” thinking – or rather , non-thinking! V ery few 
people question this age-old superstition. Many people 
accept the fallacy that they must face arteriosclerosis 
and senility in their golden years. Read on – be informed. Normal Arter y Compared to Clogged Arter y

These photomicrographs show (A) a normal artery seen in cross section and 
(B) a diseased artery in which the channel is partially occluded by atherosclerosis. Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease through both direct effects on the 
cardiovascular system as well as through reduction of intra-abdominal fat. Therefore, the goal of exercise and maintaining normal weight should be to 
lower the potential for cardiovascular disease and stay healthy and fit. Most doctors assert that there is no known cure when 
hardening of the arteries takes place. New techniques 
have been developed to implant plastic arteries in place 
of the clogged arteries and veins of the heart and neck. There is expensive heart vascular surger y and other 
expensive surgical procedures for cleaning out the 
inorganic deposits of the larger arteries (U.S. spends over 
$150 billion yearly to tr y to remedy the affects of bad 
diet). But when you consider the extent of the entire 
pipe system of the human body , cleaning out a small 
amount could not accomplish a great deal. Miles of 
arteries, veins and capillaries would have to be cleansed 
of their inorganic crust to be effective. Read on – the 
solution to stop this hardening is living The Bragg

Bragg Speaks About His Childhood 
Paul C. Bragg’ s Early Experiences
With Hard W ater
I was bor n on a farm in V irginia, along the Potomac 
River . We got all our drinking water from a well overflowing 
with cr ystalline, fresh water . It was ver y hard water because 
it contained a great deal of calcium carbonate 
and other inorganic minerals from limestone 
in suspension or solution. This hard water made laundering and 
cleaning difficult. The soap used for these 
purposes simply would not make suds. Water softeners are good to use for only 
doing laundr y, but please never use for 
cooking, food preparations, drinking, etc.Limestone 
Water When we boiled this water , inorganic 
mineral encrustations form ed in large slabs inside the 
kettles. In time, it created holes in the bottom s of the 
kettles. Kettle after kettle had to be thr own away , with 
the same deteriorations happening to each kettle! But the greatest damage done to humans who drank 
this hard, inorganic mineral water was to their entire 
cardiovascular systems and their overall health. My grandfather was a man in his mid-sixties. He was a 
big, strong six-footer – about 200pounds of solid muscle. My 
grandfather was a loving Christian family man, an expert 
horseman and a hard working farmer . I can remember when he had 
his first stroke. There was a large 
family of Braggs, and we were 
all seated together around the 
dinner table. Suddenly , there 
was a crash of dishes when my 
grandfather slumped over the 
Teach me Thy way O Lord; and lead me in a plain path. – Psalms 97:11 37 table. When the countr y doctor arrived, he stated sadly 
that grandfather had lost all control of his left side due 
to brain damage from the stroke. From then on, he needed constant attention. W ith a 
completely paralyzed left side, he could not walk without 
the aid of someone to steady him. He had absolutely no 
control of his eliminative system. There was great difficulty 
getting food into his body because he had lost the ability 
to chew . We could only  feed him ver y soft, mashed foods, 
vegetables, potatoes, fruits and soups. This fine man we knew and loved was, as far as real 
living was concerned, dead. Y ou have no idea what a 
great burden he was on my parents and family . The poor , 
helpless man struggled on in this manner for 3 years. Then the second and final stroke came and he die d. The 
doctors who performed the autopsy stated that his 
arteries were like stone. My grandfather was born and 
I was just a little boy when my father explained to 
me the outcome of my grandfather’ s autopsy . I asked 
my father in despair , “How could his arteries turn into 
stone?” He couldn’ t give a satisfactor y answer to my 
question. That ver y day , I resolved to find out why my 
grandfather’ s arteries had hardened. I read medical books loaned to me by my Uncle 
William, who was our family doctor . I besieged my uncle 
with hundreds of questions as to why human arteries 
could become like stone. It was to be many years before 
my questions were answered. Over time, I witnessed 
what hard water was doing to my family , our relatives 
38 reared on that farm and drank that har d water ever y 
day and he paid for it with his life. I Discovered the Miseries 
Caused by Hard W ater 
and friends. It also corroded our water pipes (page 81). Drinking the right water in the right quantity at the right time is just as 
important as eating well. Pure distilled water is the right drink! – Paul C. Bragg 
Good health and good sense are two of life’s greatest blessings. – P. Syrus Millions Suffer W ith Joint Pain 
Many fine people from all walks of life worked on 
our farm. W e all got along together as one big family . One of the women who worked in our home was named 
Bessie Louise. She was just like a member of the family , 
and we all loved her dearly . Poor Bessie developed 
arthritis in her hands, wrists, elbows, hips, knees and 
ankles. How that poor woman suffered day after day 
from tormenting pain! Sometimes the pain would be so 
great that she would burst into tears. Again I asked my doctor , Uncle W illiam, what caused 
the arthritis. I wanted to know if there was a cure for 
this tormenting condition. He answered me honestly . “Paul,” Uncle W illiam said, “we do not know the cause 
of crippling, painful arthritis, and we have no cure for 
it. All I can do is give Bessie strong painkillers to relieve 
her great pain and suffering.”

These are the 7 types of joints in your 
body , the m oveable and the im movable. Between each of the moveable joints there 
is a clear amber fluid called synovial fluid

moving fr eely and easily . When inorganic 
minerals from drinking water and toxic 
acid cr ystals replace this synovial fluid 
youexperience stiffness, pain and miser y. Cranium 
(immovable joint) 39 In time, poor Bessie was confined 
to her bed in pain. In just a few years 
she was dead. She never reached 65. Her last years were filled with intense 
pain, miser y and suffering. My poor young brain suffered. “What causes this horrible, crippling 
disease?” I would ask myself in the 
late hours before going to sleep. Here we were living on a big, fine 
farm, with an abundant supply of 
foods of all kinds. W e had a good, 
comfortable home. It was a beautiful 
farm on a majestic river . But ther e 
was suffering among the adults. These pains were grouped under one 
word, and that was “miser y”! Each day I would hear my 
mother ask different people, “How is your misery today?” 
The sufferers would answer my mother dolefully . Frustrated, I would go to our kind and patient doctor , 
Uncle W illiam, and put the question squarely to him. “Uncle,” I would ask, “Why do so many people suffer 
from the miser y”? His answer was, “I wish I knew .” Then 
again I would say to myself, “Someday , I will find out 
why people suffer from the miser y”! T.B. in My T eens – Changed and

large militar y school in the south. At the militar y school, 
I not only drank har d water , but I was fed a poor 
institutional diet. We were ser ved loads of star ches such 
as refined flour hot cakes, biscuits and white rice. For 
our meals, we could select several over cooked meats, 
hot dogs, sausages, fried potatoes, and end up with heavy

Miracle T race Mineral 
For Healthy Bones KNEES HIPSOUCH! BORON – A trace mineral for healthier bones that also helps the 
body absorb more vital calcium, minerals and necessar y hormones! Good sour ces are most vegetables, fr esh and sun- dried fr uits, prunes, 
raw nuts, soybeans and nutritional Brewer’s yeast. The U.S. Department 
of Agriculture’ s Human Nutrition Lab in Grand Forks, North Dakota, 
says boron is usually found in soil and in foods, but many Americans 
eat a diet low in boron. They conducted a 17 week study which showed 
a daily 3 to 6 mgs boron supplement enabled participants to reduce 
loss (demineralization) of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium from 
their bodies. This loss is usually caused by eating refined, processed 
fast foods and lots of meat, salt, sugar and fat and a dietary lack of 
fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains (www .all-natural.com). After 8 weeks on boron, participants' calcium loss was cut 40%. It also helped double important hormone levels vital in maintaining 
calcium and healthy bones. Millions of women on estrogen therapy 
for osteoporosis * may want to use boron as a healthier choice. Also consider natural progesterone ( 2%) raw yam cream and other 
natural options. For pain, joint support and healing use a 
glucosamine/chondriotin/MSM combo ( caps, liquid and r oll-on ). University of W ales recent study showed Cod Liver Oil eases pain 
and heals. Scientific studies a lso show women benefit from a healthy 
lifestyle that includes some gentle sunshine and ample exer cise (even 
weightlifting ) to maintain healthier bones, combined with a low-fat, 
high-fiber , natural carbohydrates  and fresh salads, greens, vegetable, 
fruit diet and also add 2 tsp cinnamon powder to teas, drinks, etc. This lifestyle helps protect against heart disease, high blood pressure, 
cancer and many other ailments. I’m happy to see science now agrees 
with my Dad who first stated these health truths over 80 years ago! * For more hormone and osteoporosis facts read pioneer  Dr. John Lee’s book. What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause. www.amazon.com 
41 including doughnuts, sweet 
buns, chocolate cakes, pies, 
puddings, cookies and ice cream. In exactly 4 years, at only 16, 
I was a sad victim of tuber culosis. Again and again I asked my uncle 
who was a doctor why this had 
happened to me. He could not answer my question. I spent time in several T .B. Sanitariums – to no avail 
– and then fate inter vened. I was skin and bones and so 
sick and weak! When four staff doctors examined me, 
I asked them point-blank, “Are you going to save me 
from this disease?” I received an honest answer . “No,” 
they said, “W e don’ t believe you’re going to make it.” 
When they left the room, my human angel – Maria, 
the Swiss exchange nurse – seemed angr y. “These 
American doctors know nothing about T .B.,” she 
declared. “I am glad I am returning to a Sanitarium and 
a doctor who has cures!” I cried out, “W ill you take me 
to that doctor? I want to live so I may help all sick people! 42 
I Want T o Be A 
Health Crusader! So, the Swiss nurse took me 
to her wonderful Sanitarium in 
Switzerland where the great 
physician, Dr . August Rollier , 
gave me a new life by using all 
natural healing methods. He 
administered no drugs of any 
kind – just distilled (rain) w ater, good nutrition, sunshine, 
fresh air , deep br eathing , massage and exer cise. In 2 years, 
I was healthy and strong as a young stallion. Now I was 
ready to achieve my life’ s ambition of helping others to 
help themselves to superb health! (see Bragg Bio back page ) 
Nature, time and patience are the three greatest physicians. – Irish Proverb 
Up to 90% of deaths annually are self-inflicted by unhealthy lifestyle! Dear friend, I wish above all things that thou may prosper 
and be in health even as the soul prospers. – 3 John 2 The Secret of Rain and Snow W ater: 
It’s Distilled By Mother Nature 
Many of the practices of 
Dr. Rollier’ s Sanitarium are 
now standard T .B. treatments. In many ways, this doctor was 
years ahead of others and his 
wise health care saved my life! He was ver y insistent upon 
one point: “No hard water should ever be given to a 
patient.” Although water is abundant in Switzerland, 
Dr. Rollier gave us only water fr om rain and melted snow 
(distilled by Mother Nature). He was also a great believer 
in the use of fresh vegetable and fruit juices. Dr. Rollier always told us the r easons for his 
treatments. He explained, “Practically all of the water 
in Switzerland is heavy or hard water , loaded with 
inorganic minerals. This hard water burdens and brings 
only harm to our bodies, because the body chemistr y 
can assimilate only organic living foods and liquids.” 
I admired, loved and followed Dr . Rollier because he 
gave logical answers to my questions. What a brilliant 
man! He brought healing to patients from all over the 
world who had been doomed to die, including myself. When I left the sanitarium, he cautioned me that I must 
drink only rain and snow waters, vegetable and fruit 
juices (all distilled by Mother Natur e) and distilled water . 43 
The Answer to Healthful Living 
Pondering Dr . Rollier’ s advice, I thought, “Could it 
be possible that my grandfather’ s death fr om a stroke 
and Bessie Louise’ s death from crippling arthritis had a 
common basis? W as it due to drinking hard water and 
eating dead, devitalized foods?” These questions nagged 
at me. I had to find the answers. I felt a great burden; a 
burden that could be lifted only when I found the truth. Then the answers to such disease and premature death 
would no longer be a myster y! The secret of longevity is eating and drinking intelligently. – Gayelord Hauser It was then that I pledged to God to be a biochemist, 
nutritionist and doctor who healed using only natural 
methods. After I left the Sanitarium, I spent 8 years in 
school and doing resear ch for knowledge which would 
equip me to help sufferers help themselves to health! We’ve been blessed by helping millions to better health 
and we’re more enthusiastic than ever about the miracle 
healing powers of God and Mother Natur e. That’ s why

which has lead the way to pure water for millions, here’ s

McLean and Bragg As noted earlier , after my two years at Dr . Rollier’ s 
Sanitarium in Switzerland, I was reborn with a new 
healthy life! Completely cured of T .B., I was in excellent 
condition. The Alpine sunshine, the pure rain and snow 
distilled water to drink, the clean air of the Alps and the 
natural diet had given me a new body . Ever y cell in my 
body vibrated with vigorous health! Now I was ready to 
study biochemistr y and other related health subjects to 
prepare for my life’ s work being a health crusader . Deciding to live and study in London, I found a small 
apartment not far from the famous Regent’ s Park. In 
my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful parks in 
the world. Here I could take my early morning runs, 
hikes and play tennis. In my apartment, I could prepare 
and enjoy my live food meals and fresh juices. The owner of the building lived 
on the first floor . He and his wife 
were the typical, prematurely old 
people. They ate the regular English 
diet. It contained refined white 
flour (bread, biscuits, pastries and

It is in the cushions between the bones of the spine that inorganic 
minerals from water may deposit themselves. This buildup can cause 
painful stiffness, backaches, slipped discs and many other spinal-back

greatly reduced, causing painful miseries thr oughout the entire body . Studies show drinking 8 glasses of pure distilled water could ease or

went up alone and found the apartment to be exactly 
what I wanted. Among other things to my liking, it 
was unheated. However , there were small, built-in 
grates; if I wanted heat, I would have to order coal and 
have it delivered in bags, so I could car ry it upstairs. I settled down comfortably in my fifth floor London 
apartment and started my schooling in biochemistry . My landlords, the W ilsons, were ver y friendly and from 
time to time I would drop by their apartment for a visit. Both of these nice English people had numerous physical 
troubles. Mr . Wilson suffered greatly from low back pain, 
as well as pains in all his moveable joints and some form 
of bladder disease. Mrs. W ilson was not much better of f. 
She was 50 pounds over weight and huffed and puffed 
with ever y move. She also suf fered from kidney disease. During my visits, a good part of our conversation was 
centered around their many ailments. By this time, the cruel London winter had set in. Outside, it was damp and cold. But each day before dawn, 
I would put on my heavy sweat clothes and take a long 
run in Regent’ s Park, returning to the apar tment glowing 
with good cir culation and health. I never had as much as 
a sniffle all winter , but the W ilsons were plagued with one 
cold after another . They had large amounts of toxic mucus 
pouring out and felt terrible most of the winter . One Saturday , when I stopped by their apartment after 
my morning run, I could see that Mr . Wilson was 
desperately ill. He was running a high fever and his nose 
was so completely stuffed up that he had to breathe 
through his mouth. I went into his bedroom, which was 
overheated and had very little oxygen. The poor man 
looked up and said, “For God’ s sake, you’re studying health, 
help me! I feel so sick – like I’m dying!”. “Mr .

        There 
are two kinds of chemicals, inorganic and organic. The inorganic chemicals like 
chlorine, alum and sodium fluoride 
cannot be utilized in a healthy way 
by the living tissues of the body and 
can only cause harm. Our body chemistr y is composed of 
19 organic minerals, which must come from a living sour ce 
or one that was once alive. When we eat an apple or any 
other fruit or vegetable, that substance is composed of 
living organic minerals. It has a certain length of life 
after being gathered from the earth, vine or tree. The 
same goes for animal foods, fish, milk, cheese and eggs. To preserve health is a moral and religious duty, for health is the basis 
for all social virtues. We can no longer be as useful when not well. – Dr. Samuel Johnson, Father of Dictionaries 
Health in a human being is the perfection of bodily 
organization, intellectual energy and moral power. – T. L. Nichols, M. D. Organic minerals are vitally 
important in keeping us alive and 
healthy. If we were cast away on a 
barren, uninhabited island where 
nothing was growing, we would 
slowly star ve to death. Even though 
the soil beneath our feet contains 
16 inorganic minerals, our bodies cannot absorb them 
efficiently enough to sustain life. Only a living plant’ s 
roots has the power to extract inorganic minerals from 
the earth and to transform them into useful organic 
foods to nourish our miracle working bodies. When my father was on an expedition to China 
many years ago, one part of the countr y was suffering 
from drought and famine. W ith his own eyes he saw 
poor, star ving people heating and eating earth because 
of the lack of food. They died horrible deaths from 
starvation, because they could not get the needed 
nourishment from the inorganic minerals in the dirt. For years we’ve heard people say that certain waters 
were “rich in all the minerals. ” What kind of minerals 
are they talking about. Inorganic or organic. Humans do not have the same chemistry as plants. Only living plants can convert an inorganic mineral into 
an organic mineral. As you read here, you will learn what 
harm inorganic minerals can do to your body and brain. Because of dietar y deficiencies, some children and 
young animals tr y eating dirt. They can become deathly 
ill, not from the germs in the dirt, but from the inorganic 
minerals which can cause sickness and even death. 13 
Premature old age is a highly toxic condition caused by
nutritional and water deficiencies and living an unhealthy lifestyle. DRINK, DRINK, DRINK. You can easily sweat away more than a quart of water 
during an hour of strenuous exercise. Sweat rates of nearly a gallon an hour 
have been reported in some athletes. For optimal hydration during strenuous 
endurance exercise, drink at least 16 to 20 ounces of fluid 2 hours before 
exercising and another 8 ounces 15 to 30 minutes before. While exercising, 
sip 4 to 6 ounces every 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards, drink enough to 
replace the fluid you’ve sweated off; drink one pint for each pound lost. Cows Refused Inorganic Minerals 
During my father’ s boyhood on a V irginia farm, his 
family raised dair y cattle. Salesmen would come to the 
farm to sell various kinds of feed. Dad remembers when 
his father pur chased cattle food labeled “The Mighty 
Mineral Cattle Food”. It was supposed to have lots of 
calcium, magnesium and other important minerals to 
help build strong cows that would produce extra milk. However, all of the minerals in this “mighty” cattle food 
were derived from powdered limestone and other 
inorganic sour ces:  calcium carbonate and magnesium 
carbonate, etc. When this inorganic mineral formula was 
mixed with organic food, the cattle absolutely refused 
to eat the feed. Their innate dietar y instincts pr evented 
them from eating powdered limestone. All local farmers 
had the same experience. This worthless, inorganic 
mineral feed was taken of f the market. see www. mad-cow. org 
14 Beware of Dangerous Inorganic Minerals 
And T oxins in Our Drinking W ater 
As previously noted, chlorine, alum and other 
inorganic minerals such as calcium carbonate, 
magnesium carbonate and potassium carbonate are used 
to “purify” our drinking water. Keep in mind the human 
body needs hydrogen and oxygen as a natural solvent 
in its inter nal chemistr y. Therefore our bodies need a 
constant supply of clean water. Where to get it. Even 
untreated, so-called “pure” water from springs, wells, 
etc. often contains some traces of inorganic minerals 
and toxic pollutants fr om industr y, farms, fertilizers, etc. This is the irony of Mother Nature: that this fluid – 
without which man can barely exist more than 72 hours 
before lapsing into a semi-comatose state – contains in 
most of its forms the exact inorganic chemicals which 
bring about the ultimate premature ageing of man and 
animals. Major aluminum companies want to pollute 
all our water with sodium fluoride, their deadly waste 
product they produce through aluminum processing. Kids exposed to high levels of fluoride have lower IQs. – Fluoride Magazine Fluorine is a Deadly Poison 
Millions upon millions of innocent people have been 
brainwashed by the aluminum companies to erroneously 
believe that adding sodium fluoride to our drinking water 
will reduce tooth decay in our children. Over 150 million 
Americans drink a daily dose of sodium fluoride in their 
water without knowing of it. Fluorine, the gangster of 
the chemical under world, 
made the deadly atomic 
bomb possible. The only 
scientific way to free the 
necessar y quantities of 
fissionable Uranium 235, 
buried in the inert mass of 
its parent U-238, is to for ce uranium hexafluoride gas 
through many acres of porous barriers. The next part of 
the process gradually concentrates the elements, creating 
deadly “Hex”, a deadly vicious hazard from radiation. These 11 Associations, back in 1996

15 Millions of Americans drink water spiked with a 
sodium fluoride solution. A chemical cousin of sodium, 
fluorine is not as toxic as “Hex”. but toxic enough, in 
high concentrations, to be used as a standard roach and 
rat killer and a deadly pesticide. Yet this terrible, deadly sodium fluoride, injected 
virtually by government edict into drinking water in the 
proportion of 1. 2 parts per million ( PPM), has been 
declared by the United States Public Health Service to 
be “absolutely safe for all human consumption”. Every 
qualified chemist knows that such “absolute safety” is 
not only unattainable, but a total illusion. The Grim Stor y Behind Fluoridation 
16 It was in the year 1939 that a famous institute in the 
eastern part of the United States commissioned their 
biochemist to find a use for the sodium fluoride wastes 
produced by aluminum foundries. Some 45 other 
industries also had fluoride disposal problems. Many 
were tormented by expensive damage suits arising from 
the noxious pollution effects of the poison on livestock 
and crops. Oil refineries, metal smelters, tile, brick, steel, 
fertilizer and ceramic plants and the Atomic Energy 
Commission installations were involved. The cost to 
eliminate this deadly chemical was ver y costly. Was there 
no way this by-product could be put to a profitable use. Now this biochemist was a clever and cunning man. He came up with a big money-making idea: why not 
dissolve the stuff in drinking water. He had absolutely no 
medical background and had not conducted any clinical 
resear ch into the effects of sodium fluoride on our body’ s 
chemistr y. His idea went over big with companies who 
were burdened by what to do with sodium fluoride wastes. Russian studies back in the 1970s demonstrated that workers suffering 
from exposure to fluoride in the workplace exhibited signs of impaired 
mental functioning. – Health Action Network – www. hans. org 
From the British Journal Nature, 1986 : Researcher Mark Diesendorf assessed 
24 studies from 8 countries and found cavity rates had declined equally in 
fluoridated and nonfluoridated areas, showing fluoridation isn’t necessary. The USA leads the world in heart diseases, strokes, cancers and diabetes. The next step was not difficult. turn the idea over 
to clever advertising companies and let them brainwash 
the public into believing that the greatest health 
measure in modern times had been discovered. Give a 
“tall tale” to the gullible American public and if it sounds 
scientific, they will bite – hook, line and sinker. So they 
used the tall tale that sodium fluoride in drinking water 
would prevent tooth decay in children, as they found a 
Texas town that had naturally occurring fluoride and it 
seemed fewer dental cavities. The public was eager to 
hear mor e. At last, a way to prevent tooth decay. Sadly, 
most became convinced at first – despite that every smart 
thinking person knows that tooth decay comes from 
poor nutrition and especially the high consumption of 
all the refined sugar drinks, candy and products. Big business and large professional organizations 
have a way of sticking together. Remember, they have 
the powerful m edia behind them  because of  econom ic 
control exerted by the publishers’ chief sour ce of 
income – adver tising. With the aid of all the  television, 
radio, newspapers and m agazines, the major business, 
professional and social organizations promoted the ‘great 
merits’ of sodium  fluoride – although totally false and 
dangerous – to the innocent, believing American people. Any person who publicly questioned this poisoning 
of drinking water with sodium fluoride was called 
ignorant, uninformed and backward. Most doctors and 
dentists surrender ed to these powerful for ces for fear 
of being discredited by their professional associations. But, you can always find some honest and sincere 
professionals who fight for truth –  no matter how others 
might ridicule them. Extreme pressures were put upon 
all U. S. city and state governm ents to fluoridate the 
drinking water and still are. Big business and large 
professional organizations, which can act like the 
Mafia, don ’t take “No” for an answer. They know how 
to pressure state, city and water officials to think 
and take action their way, often not for good. 17 
Health risks associated with our current fluoride intake (exceeds 6 mg/day) can 
be described in a nutshell: An intake of 5 mg/day will cause average individuals 
to develop crippling deformities of the spine and major joints within a lifetime. 18Fluoridation can cause tooth enamel mottling, poor 
health, mongolism in infants and increases the 
growth of cancer cells. We must all demand safe, pur e water. Shocking Historical Fluoride Facts 
•	Adolf Hitler sought a means to make people docile 
and suggestible. He discovered that odorless sodium 
fluoride slowly poisons and makes dormant the small 
tissue in the brain’ s left rear occipital lobe that 
normally helps a person resist domination. Fluoride 
allows muscles to move one way, but not relax. In 
large doses fluoride can cause paralysis and death. •	Sodium fluoride is classified with arsenic and cyanide 
as a dangerous poison and is used in rat poison. Hydrogen fluoride is an industrial pollutant. It is 
illegal to sell or give away a fluoride pill of 1 mg. Fluoride slowly destr oys the body’ s self-repair and 
rejuvenation capabilities causing premature ageing, 
bone damage and defor mities. •	Fluoride increases the risk of hip fractures up to 41%. The Fluoridation Fiasco* 
•	In recent years, fluoridation of our water supply has 
been shown not only ineffective in preventing tooth 
decay, but it poisons the body. How and why should 
public health policy and the American media live with 
and perpetuate this toxic sham. •	At first, industr y could dispose of fluoride legally only 
in small amounts by selling it to insecticide and rat 
poison manufacturers. Then a commer cial outlet was 
devised in the mid 1930s when a connection was 
made between a water supply bearing traces of natural 
fluoride and lower rates of tooth decay. Even after 
this connection was proven erroneous, it became a 
political, not a scientific issue. Many opponents 
originally started out as proponents, but changed 
their minds after closer looks at mounting evidence. They started viewing it as a capitalist-style con job of 
epic proportions poured down American throats. * Excerpts from an article by Gary Null called The Fluoridation Fiasco. More Fluoridation Fiasco Facts: 
•	The Sierra Club found in a study that people in 
unfluoridated developing nations have fewer dental 
caries than those living in industrialized nations. They 
concluded “fluoride is not essential to dental health. ” 
•	In British Columbia, only 11% of the population 
drinks fluoridated water,  as opposed to 40-70% in 
other Canadian regions. Y et British Columbia has the 
lowest rate of tooth decay in Canada, with the lowest 
rates of dental caries occurring in areas of the province 
where the water is not fluoridated. •	In 1986-87, 39,000 school children between ages 5 
and 17, living in 84 areas around the countr y, were 
studied. 3 of the places were fluoridated, 3 were 
partially fluoridated and 3 were not. Results showed 
no statistically significant differences in dental decay 
rates between fluoridated and unfluoridated cities. •	A World Health Organization sur vey reports a decline 
of dental decay in W estern Europe, which is 98% 
unfluoridated. Europe’ s declining dental decay rates 
are equal to and sometimes lower than U.
