Teach us something...
I have thought about that, long and hard. Not an easy undertaking, but I will try.
First, consider my early days, and the era in time.
This was the 1950's, and early 1960's.
There was not much technical information available then.
I have said, Nutrition is a relatively new science, if it is one.
Many books I read were written in the 40's, 30's, and back to the late 1920's.
They were mostly ideas and observances by the people that wrote the books.
Likewise, when I went into the health food stores, I was familiar with virtually every product on the shelves.
This all contributed to great simplicity compared to what exist today.
This was before the mainstream infiltrated the Alternative publications, the Alternative writers, and the Alternative people.
This really disturbs me today. Many Alternative people quote the mainstream, do that they say, and think like they do. But, that is another book.
Back in the jungle.
The program I used for myself was very simple, and not expected to cure any disease, ailment, or symptoms.
Instead the idea was that of prevention, and I hoped it might make a superman out of me.
I kept watching for the Big S to appear on my chest, and it never did. So I decided I had to work, sweat, and do everything I could to enhance my "Strength and Health".
There is a "Strength and Health" hall of fame. I have been there and met the people and the Olympic coach, one of my early idols.
I read many of his books and used his supplements.
His name was Bob Hoffman. At age 52, He could do a squat with
over 1000 pounds. I believe he could do a one arm bent press with
250 pounds.
I have met the Olympic team members and studied their method and what they ate.
Sorry I got sidetracked.
Back to my program, .............
When I planned a program for other people, generally I used the same program I used. And the one my boss used to solve his ailments. He become a believer, studied hard, and was lifelong devoted to nutrition and health.
When I observed what my simple program did for others, it gave me even more confidence in it, for me. Possibly the supplements were better then, than they are now.
Often I think, the observances and ideas of the nutrition and health writers were more valuable than the many bogus research articles available today.
I could tell many stories of the effect of supplements for other people.
One short and simple one.
A man who worked for me, called the office early one morning and said, "I have the mumps".
Later he called again and said, We have so much work that I feel guilty, I am going to the doctor.
Then, later he called and said, "The doctor says I have the mumps.
So, I told him, this is what you need to do.
I gave him a list of a few vitamins and minerals, and told him to call me when he got back.
He did in fact do what I suggested. I told him, how many to take and how often.
I heard nothing else. The next morning he walked into the office.
I said, "Bill, what are you doing here"?
He said, My mumps are well, no soreness, no swelling, no nothing !
Yes, not even 24 hours, more like 16 or 18 hours, he was well.
Another great Disaster, not for the person, but for the ailment.
In some cases, I have told people, my suggestions will not help the symptoms, or help the root cause of your ailment.
However, ......... they should make you feel better. Only you can decide that.
And many have told me, they never felt better in their life.
Many of my friends became my students, did exactly what I said. They instruct and help other people today.
At age 50, 55, and 60, they are healthy as Charles Atlas or "Milo of Cortan".
Where are the disasters, my friends ? None on my part, no not one.
There is no secret to success, no guarantee of anything. But the mind of man has great potential to make the best of things.
As far as the magic program, there is none.
The usual vitamins and minerals, and a few special things ( special foods )
Almonds, Black Strap molasses, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and maybe flax seeds, raw fruit and vegetables, wild meat, fish, snakes, lizards, and anything you have the guts to eat.
Plus a few supplements, should turn the tide. If not, Try Again. <grin>
Avoid bad things. I have never drink any alcohol, never had a single sniff of bad drugs,
but I have eaten whole watermelons, and many raw vegetables, food off the floor, and poison wild berries.
I have studied the brain, brain energy, energy for the heart, and how it relates to super endurance and the ability to work 36, 40 hours and more, often 3 or 4 days, without going to bed.
But that is another book as well.
I might answer specific questions, and I might say, There is no clear cut answer,
and I do not know.
or.......... "That is hearsay evidence and requires speculation".
