When health is our companion, the latter years of our living can be joyful years, indeed. The major challenges of life have been met. These should be the years of new adventure. However, if we are old and sick and filled with doubts about tomorrow, as so many of our elderly friends are, then we have a tendency to accept defeat before we should, largely because we are without family or friends to provide encouraging loving support.

Every living person has the marvelous gift of vital force, some more, some less. But, whatever the amount, it gives opportunity, an opportunity to create, to accomplish, to give a part of one’s self back to the world in exchange for the gift. This is true of the elderly ones as well as of the younger members of society. While life remains, there is also potential. When older people are taught how to live according to Hygienic principles, they often become enthusiastic, moreso than they were for years, and begin to share their rich experiences with us and with others, to the enrichment of all.

This wonderful friend recently celebrated his 97th birthday. To celebrate he went for a medical examination. The examining physician shook his head in wonder and told our friend, “The only thing we can find wrong with you is a little edema in your ankles. Other than that, you are fine!”

There is a lesson for all Hygienists to learn here, perhaps several. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give is the gift of hope and especially when it is given to the elderly ones in love. This is the gift that both directs and inspires. It is easy, of course, to present a plan of action; it takes love to inspire performance. Our 93-year-old friend also gives us another lesson: in working with our older clients, in addition to having the knowledge of what to do and the ability to offer love and support, we are also required to have patience.

With very few exceptions all of us are born capable of achieving a far greater potential in all areas of life than most persons presently achieve. Certainly most of us desire to be happy in our old age and yet we are surrounded by a host of unhappy people, people who are filled with disease and despair. Most of us have a deep inner yearning to achieve something of real worth before we depart from this life but, obviously, few ever come close to a full realization of their earlier dreams.

# The Years of Custodial Care Because we feel it is important to the understanding of the elderly, we are presenting a brief synopsis of the transition from Stage One to Stage Nine. We include some general observations to increase understanding, we note the types of diseases common to each stage, the determining factors as to the type(s) experienced and, finally, the most common errors made by individuals as they pass through each one of the nine stages.  It is important to note that young people are biologically very similar. This is true because their bodies have, as yet, not sustained the vast numbers of physiological insults which can be experienced as the pattern of life is revealed. The changes continue slowly and inexorably, under present standards of living and eating, until the life force is exhausted and the physiological point of no return is finally reached. This is why the elderly are so biologically different. Their bodies represent the sum total, the cumulative and final effect of multiple errors.  Each elderly person is different from every other elderly person because he has been imprinted by different stresses and to a greater or lesser degree. Also, because at birth he entered the world with a constitution, a collection of weak and strong organs which were strictly his own, his private legacy from the past. Persons with a strong inheritance survive the stresses of life far better than those less well endowed. Like strong trees that bend with the wind and grow stronger, persons with a strong constitution are able to survive relatively well the vicissitudes of life. The weaker ones seldom attain a great age.  However, it is the purpose of the Hygienic practitioner to teach both the weak and the strong to get the most out of life, to show them that life is a possible dream to be lived to the full and that this can be accomplished in full measure when we know and follow the principles you are learning in this course, the principles of Life Science. The student will observe in the following mini-glimpses into the nine stages that we will, unfortunately, not be able to include all influences and/or conditions that could conceivably arise. Our purpose is to provide a broad index so that students can be aware of the evolving biological degeneration brought about through multiple physiological errors, these leading to the aging of people as customarily observed. The Hygienist, of course, has sufficient evidence to demonstrate epidemiologically and historically that such aging is contrary to organic law. However, by having knowledge of the progress of toxemia at work within the body, the Hygienic practitioner should, in the normal course of events, be better equipped to help his elderly clients to attain a far higher plateau of health than they presently experience.  As we progress through the nine stages, from birth to death, we will actually be watching the diverging paths of the chronological and biological clocks. We should bear in mind that humans are probably designed to live, on an average, about 150 years. Let us observe how the biological clock outpaces the chronological clock, and why!

In this first stage we cover the period of life from birth to about the tenth year. This is normally the time of childhood, a time of life when a person is more or less completely dependent upon parents and/or others for life’s necessities:

Probably such abuse has existed throughout the history of mankind but it remains, nevertheless, a troubling problem which must, in our view, be rightfully attributed to the inner turmoil which damages the nervous structures of the body and leads, more often than not, to erratic behavior.  We should remember that the various kinds of abuse are often difficult to detect and even more difficult, we are told, to prosecute since the child, either out of a sense of fear or love for the abusing parent, may refuse to testify or because of his young years, may be unable to do so.  In recent years still other multiple problems have arisen, these being most often associated with the single parent home. These are presently receiving some small attention but they have certainly not, as yet, been resolved insofar as the possible psychological and other effects on the developing child are concerned.  In Lesson 80 we noted that the family unit, as traditionally constituted, is undergoing change. However, we must recognize, especially as we look forward to the problems of the elderly, that the long range results of these changes, whatever they may turn out to be and however they may have been created, have yet to be evaluated. The evidence that is already “in,” seems to indicate that the effects may be long-reaching and profoundly negative in kind. Many elderly clients are often greatly troubled by the fact that young children are being neglected by their parents and also by the fact that they themselves have apparently become almost “nonpeople” in the eyes of their children.  The Types of Disease Commonly Experienced in Stage One:

It is in these early years that we witness the alpha, beginning phases in the biological evolution which results, finally, in the elderly individuals as the omega, of life, when catastrophic diseases begin to take an ever-accelerating toll. When the foundation is faulty, the structure will eventually give away.  The Types of Disease Commonly Experienced in Stage Two:

In the beginning of the period, there are varying degrees of dependence upon parents but, by the time this stage has been concluded, most persons have assumed full responsibility for their own care and well-being. At about the halfway mark, that is, at about age 24 or 25, growth ceases and the body now begins to concentrate as best it can on health maintenance, on healing and repairing the wounded cells and, from this point on, it will be required to wage a constant war against sickness and death. It is during this stage that mates are chosen and new family units are established. In recent years, marriages have had a tendency to be postponed with many young people, for one reason or another, not seeking the responsibility for a family and opting, instead, for “live-in” partner either of the same sex or, more frequently, of the opposite sex. Almost without exception, however, the future beckons and is full of challenge, hopes are high and all aspects of life are thought to be capable of a successful conclusion!  Those in the twenty to thirty age group, Stage Three, show considerable differences in emotional maturity, no doubt due to their current health status and different backgrounds.

Whether or not these are successfully consummated during the generally productive years of the twenties will certainly have a very noticeable influence following retirement, as we will soon see. In fact, it will color an older person’s complete attitude toward life and living. It may also determine his health status. But, for now, the overall attitude among this age group can perhaps best be expressed in the words of a popular song: “Kiss Today goodbye. Point me towards Tomorrow!” To the 25-year-old the future is there to be conquered and he has no doubt that he will conquer it! Health maintenance is generally a matter of major concern only to those who do not have it.  The Types of Disease Commonly Experienced in Stage Three:  (Note: Observe the steady inroads made on the vital force, this being sapped by the adaptations required within the body in order to maintain life.)

By this time, the childhood home is no longer a factor except for the effect it may have had upon the individual in all phases of his life to this time.  Formal education has, for the most part, ended and the individual strives to establish himself in the business and social worlds of which s/he is now a part, although for a limited time. Efforts are still made to gain approval of one’s peers, although peer pressure is not generally as important as in previous years. During this stage, which includes those between the ages of 30 and 40, both males and females tend to participate actively in the organized life of the community, joining several civic and service clubs, both professional and occupational, as well as participating socially and actively in all kinds of other organizations and activities. Church leadership is assumed by many while others play a more passive role. The over-riding concern of members of this age group is the welfare of the several members of the family unit but, particularly, that of the children they have brought into the world. There is now only a limited concern for the needs, financial and other, of their parents or for older generations still living; that is, for grandparents or

These have become almost non-persons in modern America. This is not true, however, in many other cultures.

During this stage, the future looks fairly secure. Stereotypes begin to emerge, especially in the business world as individuals find their “niche,” as it were. This could well be called the period of “Individual Strategy” with the term “Individual” applying equally well to the individual, male or female, perse, or to the family as a unit.

This could well be called the period of “Individual Strategy” with the term “Individual” applying equally well to the individual, male or female, perse, or to the family as a unit.

With females entering the business world more frequently now than in former years, they are now subject to the multiple stresses not previously experienced and, in addition, they must often be concerned not only with the care and rearing of children but also with the maintenance of the household. Characteristically, few males contribute in this regard, although more seem to be doing so now. However, females are called upon to assume a multi-faceted role: giving birth to children; assuring that the emotional, physical, spiritual and education needs of the children are met; taking care of the physical home in which the family lives; assisting with the financial needs of the family unit; and, finally, participating more or less actively in community organizations such as the PTA, Boy and Girl Scouts and similar child-oriented groups. The stress factor can be enormous when the traditional maternal role is thus expanded and it is not unreasonable to expect a subtle erosion of the life force under such circumstances, one that will, no doubt, have an impact on women’s later years.

# Whatever kind of disease or diseases which may have evolved will have been determined by the individual’s own peculiar diathesis and by the number, kind, and frequency of the physiological insults—the multiple stressors—to which the individual has either subjected himself or to which he has been subjected, either knowingly or unknowingly. The stressors can be either mental or physical in kind, of internal or external origin, and multiple or single in number. The Most Common Errors Made in Stage Four Are:

==== Stage Five—The Middle Years ====

==== Stage Five—The Middle Years ====

We include in this category those persons between the ages of forty to fifty, the period of mature adulthood. Persons in this age group are commonly referred to as being “middle-aged.”  It is in this stage that individuals, both male and female, begin to question where they stand in the scheme of life. Many become extremely anxious and develop a sense of frustration and inadequacy. Many find that the problems and/or challenges they face seem increasingly more difficult to solve and/or meet successfully.  It is in this middle period of life that, perhaps for the very first time, a sense of fore- boding failure produces a state of mind wherein the possibility of defeat becomes im- printed on the subconscious mind. Often people in middle-age begin to feel boxed-in, even hopeless at times. Many begin to make less and less of an effort to cope with daily matters of concern. Anxiety, worry and fear about the future replace planning and per- formance.  Many emotional peaks and valleys, destructive of health, are occasioned as children leave the home scene to pursue their own lives. Sometimes the anxiety takes another line of defense with the three P’s taking over: 1. An obsession with perfection, 2. Since perfection is either unlikely or impossible, the individual tends to procrastinate; and, finally, 3. The disturbed person simply settles for paralysis—non-performance—and often gets locked into life-destroying habits. This is

The more intelligent ones in this age group, the ones who have thus far fully coped with life, often begin to delegate responsibilities to younger employees, especially in those areas that require physical effort as well as mental. Some enter a new dimension of life successfully by developing a wide diversity of management skills, especially those concerned with decision-making and with long-term planning.
