I believe so strongly in what I do and I practice what I preach! My Dad died at fifty - do I have to die at fifty?

When I first started out, I was considered a crackpot. The doctors used to say, Don't go to that Jack LaLanne, you'll get hemorrhoids, you won't get an erection, you women will look like men, you athletes will get muscle-bound -- this is what I had to go through.
