Most children today, with or without the knowledge and consent of their parents, have free access to drugs and alcohol both in and out of the home. Parents have been known to feed even infants on beer and wine, so lacking are they in intelligent awareness of life’s realities.

Almost all children today are required by law to be “immunized” against one or more diseases and by this false practice and by the continued pushing of drugs by “authorities,” they become pre-programmed for future disease and premature death. Children reveling in luxuriant metabolism are given medically-prescribed pacifiers by nurses in public schools and even in preschool. Outside of the school drugs are more or less freely disseminated to children of all ages by their peers (even below the junior high grade) or by outside pushers of death who are themselves addicts.

Students taking this course in Life Science are already quite knowledgeable about the necessity for proper prenatal care and well-versed in how to care properly for many of the dietary and other needs of young infants. It is, therefore, the purpose of this lesson to address some other areas of concern that may arise from time to time as the practicing Hygienist serves the needs of his clients who have the care and nurture of infants as their responsibility.

Hygienists are sometimes also called upon to advise parents facing much more serious problems than a swallowed penny; such problems as deafness, blindness, deformities of one kind or another. It is well, therefore, for the Hygienic practitioner to familiarize himself with the resources available which are specifically geared to serve these children and their parents and we strongly suggest that highly-skilled personnel work with both parents and children. Generally such personnel are available either in the immediate community of residence or in the closest town of any size.

We refer, of course, to such specialists as speech and language pathologists, one of whom has been a student of ours here in Tucson for some time: to physical therapists who can often do wonders in developing better coordination in one or several limbs where little or none has existed prior to their working with the child. There are schools for the blind and deaf, and even for braindamaged children. Such facilities should be sought out so that the practitioner can become knowledgeable about what is being offered and those in charge should be advised of the services offered by the Hygienist. They should be assured of full cooperation on the part of the Hygienist.

Many of these services for handicapped or disabled children are subsidized either by private grants or by the government, either state or federal or both. The subsidization of services can sometimes prove a minor obstacle in that Hygienic methods may run contrary to that generally approved by orthodoxy. This is especially the case in methods of feeding. However, sometimes, in desperation, parents will turn to a Hygienist because other methods have failed. Hopefully, with care and encouragement, we can perhaps play a constructive role if we actively cooperate.

This child was brought to us because she was hyper-kinetic, and also because she had behavior problems. She was unable to adjust to children of like age, biting and scratching them. When frustrated, she screamed and had temper tantrums. In fact, she became almost uncontrolable, not stopping her physical and emotional activity until she would fall down in exhaustion.

The mother was at least fifty pounds overweight and the father had been diagnosed as having diabetic tendencies. Both were using prescription drugs.

Jerry did not choose to enter the marketplace to support his wife, who had no special skills of her own. He chose, instead, to do odd jobs for ranchers, to build greenhouses and work in gardens.

We learned their home was a cabin in the country where they lived and worked as much as possible out-of-doors. They both wanted sound prenatal care for their child. As a consequence, we placed Maura on a well-constructed Hygienic pregnancy diet such as has been outlined in previous lessons and, in due course, she gave birth to a fine son whom she nursed until about the fourteenth month when he was weaned.

Mark worked with his father and two brothers in a family-owned business. The business was fairly successful but not brilliantly so. Father and the boys worked long hours and had done so, under considerable pressure, especially Mark, who had the responsibility of providing for his wife and three children.

No baby, however vigorous, could possibly digest and assimilate as much milk as the foregoing plan of feeding provided. Not only was the baby provided with an excess of fluid, necessitating frequent urinating (polyuria) to free the body of the excess of water, but it was supplied with a redundancy of nutrient material only part of which could be used as growth material. Much of the surplus food was used in the production of fat, thus creating the “butter-ball” so much admired by doting relatives and friends. Much of the unused milk was passed out through the rectum, thus feeding the diaper.

So great was the frequency of urination and bowel action that the mother or nurse was kept busy hanging diapers and cleaning the baby, while somebody had to wash the diapers. The polyuria and frequent defecation continued on through the night, preventing both the baby and the mother from sleeping. As a direct consequence of the around-the-clock stuffing of the infant there was much gas and colic accompanied by much walkingthe-floor at night and much dosing with soothing syrups. Constipation alternated with diarrhea, while summer complaint or cholera infantum afflicted great numbers of victims of the butterball brigade. The infant death rate was high and carried over well into the period of childhood.

Teething was a painful ordeal for most babies and was frequently held to be responsible for other diseases. Regurgitation (spitting up) of milk was almost universal, so that the bib was everywhere a part of the baby’s habit. It was the almost universal practice to feed suffering infants, so that what started as a simple and milk irritation evolved into a formidable disease.

Commenting upon Dr. Page’s description of his daughter’s life on three-meals-a-day, Dr. Robert Walter, a leading Hygienist of the period, says: “These are substantially the views long held, and the practices advocated by the editor of this journal. Our own experience in the care and training of children proves that twice a day is amply sufficient for children after the second year and three times a day previous to that age. Our children are healthy, lively, active and vigorous, and not one of the three has ever had a serious stomach or bowel difficulty since birth. The bowel diseases which carry off thousands, and which Dr. Page declares result from overfeeding, are entirely unknown in our family. We are confident the Doctor is right, and commend his ideas to all of our readers.”

This plan of infant-feeding was widely adopted with the most happy results. Outstanding among those who adopted the plan .were Dr. John H. Tilden, George E. Weger, M.D., George Crandall, D.O., and Louis Crandall, D.O. My own experience with this plan of feeding has fully corroborated Dr. Page’s report.
