Preventing Old Age
|
|
|
|
I was much interested in the article in your July issue entitled The
|
|
Riddle of Aging.
|
|
|
|
Many years ago a man named Sanford Bennett wrote a book called Old
|
|
Age, Its Cause and Prevention. Bennett at the age of 50 had become
|
|
an old man in poor health, suffering from a number of chronic
|
|
complaints and many wrinkles. Despairing of relief from doctors and
|
|
drugs he finally devised a series of some 35 different exercises to
|
|
be done in bed before arising in the morning.
|
|
|
|
After following them faithfully for years he had become, in all
|
|
respects, a young man at 70. This was attested by medical
|
|
examinations. His face had become smooth without a single wrinkle.
|
|
|
|
His theory was that the body gets old through the accumulation of
|
|
mineral deposits in the tissues, which finally become stiff and
|
|
inelastic.
|
|
|
|
The object of his exercises was to contract and then relax all the
|
|
muscles and tissues to squeeze the mineral deposits out to be
|
|
carried off in the blood stream.
|
|
|
|
If Bennett had not been killed by an accident when he was in his
|
|
80s he might have lived many more years.
|
|
|
|
When I was in my early 20s I had no health - suffered from poor
|
|
circulation, indigestion, etc. The doctors told my people that I
|
|
had a weak heart muscle and should take no exercise; that I probably
|
|
would not live beyond the age of 30. They gave me prescriptions so
|
|
strong with strychnine that the druggist finally refused to put them
|
|
up.
|
|
|
|
When I was a few years short of 30 I started taking a few exercises
|
|
on my own. I bought Bennett's book and have followed his exercises
|
|
pretty regularly ever since. I was a member of the New York
|
|
Athletic Club for 25 years. I became a good light-weight boxer,
|
|
wrestler, swam, rowed and practiced jiu-jitsu.
|
|
|
|
I am now 88 years old, enjoy good health and swim every morning in
|
|
the salt water pool in the hotel here. I follow the swim with a
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
steam bath and a light workout in the gymnasium. I have no wrinkles
|
|
on my face and am often taken for a man in the 60s. Doctors say I
|
|
have the arteries and heart of a young man.
|
|
|
|
I don't know how much Bennett's exercises have to do with my
|
|
condition. I do think no exercises should be taken mechanically.
|
|
The mind should be on them and you should hold the thought of
|
|
gaining benefit thereby.
|
|
|
|
I lent Bennett's book to a doctor who has never returned it. The
|
|
doctor's theory was that these exercises discharged hormones into
|
|
the circulation. - David B. Helm, Brooklyn, N.Y.

Vangard notes...
|
|
|
|
A most interesting premise corresponding with one of our
|
|
proposed approaches to aging and the concept of the body as a
|
|
"filter element" which accumulates residues as life progresses.
|
|
|
|
In regard to mechanical methods, we note that Tesla highly
|
|
recommended "electro-therapeutic" currents passed through the
|
|
body to assist in throwing off toxins. This apparently also
|
|
helps to kill microbes through rapid polarization and
|
|
depolarization.
|
|
|
|
It is known that chemical interchanges occur on ionic levels in
|
|
living tissues. The term is IONTOPHORESIS or ELECTROPHORESIS.
|
|
Except that these usually indicate the use of DC currents.
|
|
|
|
In undertaking experiments in this area, one must keep in mind
|
|
that DC polarizing currents must never be applied to tissues
|
|
for any extended period. Positive currents cause the
|
|
dissolution of tissue (acid response) while negative currents
|
|
cause the concentration (hardening) of tissue (alkali
|
|
response).
|
|
|
|
Bi-Phasic currents can be so adjusted as to give the majority
|
|
of the effect (duty cycle) to either positive or negative
|
|
influences. The purpose here is to cause a gradual "milking"
|
|
effect for the transport of foreign substances to the cathode
|
|
collector.
|
|
|
|
Vibration at various frequencies might also assist in the
|
|
transport of such blockages. A further hybridization of both
|
|
electrical methods in conjunction with vibration might lead to
|
|
some interesting effects.
|
|
|
|
Another item is that of TONE. This is the electrical tension
|
|
which our bodies present while in a conscious state. It
|
|
"biases" the muscles at a point sufficiently high to allow a
|
|
rapid response when thus commanded by mental impulses.
|
|
|
|
When a thought is "sustained" for a period, it causes a
|
|
polarization of matter into the pattern of the thought. The
|
|
longer the time and/or the greater the intensity of that
|
|
thought, the sooner the effect manifests. This is a basic
|
|
universal law which governs manifestation of all force and
|
|
matter.

We would greatly appreciate a copy of Bennett's book if you
|
|
happen on a copy. Perhaps someone near the Library of Congress
|
|
might be willing to look it up and photocopy it. We will glad
|
|
pay for the duplication and mailing costs.
