Our American Hero.
January 24th, 2011
Yesterday we lost a dear friend, a devoted husband, a loving father, a true hero to us all.
Jack died of respiratory failure due to pneumonia Sunday afternoon at his home in Morro Bay on California’s Central Coast. He was surrounded with his loving family, his wife Elaine of 51 years, daughter Yvonne and sons Danny and Jon.
Jack has left the world a happy, healthier, more fit place, and his legacy will live on forever.
Remember as Jack would say:
“Anything in Life is Possible, if YOU Make it Happen!” ~Jack LaLanne
Jack was the only man alive, other than Chicago TV Icon Ray Rayner, who could wear a Jumpsuit and look cool.
Watch out heaven, here comes Jack to get you into shape!
Btw, it says he died of pneumonia. I thought old pneumonia was now an “AIDS” disease, or so it is claimed.
Wiki says “Pneumonia is common, occurring in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the young, the old, and the chronically ill.” It doesn’t mention HIV or AIDS having anything to do with pneumonia, whatsoever, however.
According to about AIDS dot com: “Pneumocystis jiroveci (carinii) (NEW-mo-SIS-tis CA-RIN- nee-eye) pneumonia, or PCP is a severe infection found in people with HIV. It is caused by a FUNGUS called Pneumocystis jiroveci. Most people infected with this fungus don’t get PCP pneumonia because their immune systems are normal. People whose immune systems are badly damaged by HIV can get PCP. People with HIV are less likely to get PCP today than in earlier years. However, PCP is still the most common serious infection among people with AIDS in the United States.”
Interesting. A retrovirus called “HIV” is said to be responsible for 29 different old diseases, inlcuding a form of pnemonia caused by a fungus.
So now a virus is the cause of fungus? They’re kidding, right? Is Establishment lackey Frank still around to answer this condundrum? After all, a friend of mine was literally harrassed unto death because of her personal patient choices.
Jack Lalane was the shit. He was all about nutrition and exercise, which is the opposite creed of the Big Pharm Drug Empire, and all the “side effects” which give them the excuse to sell you even more drugs.
Jack Lalane said he was all fucked up because he was a junk-food junkie in his young years. He turned it around. However, I didn’t think the juicer-mania was a good idea… too much sugar. Likewise, he had that major mishap where people were getting lacerated by his juicer and a guy permanently fucked up his eye.
Jack kicked Arnuld’s ass!
(NL- My BFF Georgina Spelvin is 74) Got me wondering…which pornstars have lived the longest? Do any of them make it into their 70’s?
They all seem to take an early exit…Gillis, Dough, Buck Adams, J. Leslie…who will be next?
