Maurice Daubard was severely ill as a child, suffering repeated lung infections and other respiratory issues, and was scheduled for surgery to remove much of his lungs

A missionary visited and said he had just returned from the Far East and heard about something called yoga
When asked what yoga was, the missionary demonstrated breathing techniques

[timoard]

Daubard delayed the operation for a few weeks to attempt rehabilitation, which others thought was foolish

[timoard]

Rather than decline, he recovered and gained almost superhuman strength after adopting those breathing practices, and this occurred in the 1950s
