Here's something about it: (from http://www.rawguru.com/rawgurus.html) "...Dr. Walker's death in 1984 at the age of 118. Dr. Walker passed away peacefully while taking an afternoon nap; free of any disease or other ailments common to people of advanced age."

And another from http://www.naturalhealthcourses.com/Reading_Room/Juicing.htm:

Let’s be clear. Dr. Walker lived to be a healthy 118. He didn’t suffer from cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes or any other killer or degenerative disease. He didn’t have to be pushed around in a wheel chair in his later years. He worked in his garden all morning on the day that he died.

That's the point! You wouldn't want to live to that age if you were an unhealthy mess! But according to Dr. Walker, in his old age he felt like he was still 30. Here's a quote:
"I can truthfully say that I am never conscious of my age. Since I reached maturity, I have never been aware of being any older, and I can say, without equivocation or mental reservation, that I feel more alive, alert, and full of enthusiasm today than I did when I was 30 years old. I still feel my best years are ahead of me. I never think of birthdays, nor do I celebrate them. Today I can truthfully say that I am enjoying vibrant health, I don't mind telling people how old I am: I AM AGELESS!"

Darwin, are you sure the oldest person ever was 122? There's a women in my town who is well into her 100's (I want to think 110, but I'm not positive at the moment). And I've read in a book about a man meeting someone in Germany who was supposedly 143 years old (obviously his age couldn't be proven, so it might not necessarily be correct).

I'm not positive that Dr. Walker was 118 exactly. He was definitely well into his 100s without a doubt, but I don't think anyone knows EXACTLY how old, but I've read from many sources that he was 118 when he died.

I'm not sure what the oldest age is, but somewhere on the always reliable internet 122 was given.

On Dr. Walker, I did see one page that claimed that it use to be said that he lived to his 130s. And, the page also claims that the Social Security Death Index has no record for a Walker dying the year he died that was as old as 118. So, some people are skeptical.

A couple of sources I read quoted his age as being 109 at death. Not that that really matters too much.

quote:
Oldest Woman Ever
The oldest fully authenticated age to which any human has ever lived is 122 years and 164 days, by Jeanne-Louise Calment. She was born in France on February 21, 1875, and died at a nursing home in Arles, southern France on August 4, 1997. President Jacques Chirac once said Jean Calment was a little bit like a grandmother to everyone in France. She was 14 when the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889. She led an extremely active life, taking up fencing at 85 years old, and was still riding a bicycle at 100. She portrayed herself at the age of 114 in the film Vincent And Me, to become the oldest actress in film.

After careful consideration, I have decided that I would like to be the first to try this shiny, new product.

I passed a cow and the cow was brown. My pyjamas clung to me like a shroud! Like a shroud!

Does anybody know what that Walker guy's doctorate was in? I'm going to guess some form of engineering.

I'd probably eat lab-grown meat, although I doubt it would be as good.



I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied.
