  PROLOGUE

  Life is Creation’s greatest treasure for Man in the flesh, and most men should enjoy it much longer than they do. This can easily be done by learning the body’s simple requirements, and living in harmony with that knowledge, which is contained in Hotema’s late work titled Long Life In Florida.

  Some men are now living 120, 150 and 200 years and even longer, and what is possible for one man is possible for millions more. Charlie Smith of Florida is vital and vigorous at the age of 119 and says he intends to live considerably longer. Much about him is contained in our work titled Long Life In Florida, which everyone should read, as it’s the greatest work ever written on Longevity.

  In 1943 Santiago Surviate, an Indian, died in Arizona at the age of 135. In 1936 Zora Agha, a Turk, died in Turkey at the age of 162. In 1921 Jose Calverio died in Mexico at the age of 185. In 1795 Thomas Carn died in England at the age of 207. In 1933 Li Chung-Yun died in China at the age of 2 56. In 1566 Numes De Cugna died in India at the age of 370. He grew four new sets of teeth and his hair turned from black to gray four times.

  In December, 1888, when Mrs. Fred Miller was two years old, her mother found a little turtle nearly frozen in an alley near their home in Baltimore. She took the turtle home, named it Pete, nursed it back to health, and now at an age estimated to be more than 100 years, Pete is still the family pet and shows little signs of his age.

  All living creatures are ruled by the same laws of Creation, but they do not all live in harmony with those laws. Those that come the closest to it are those that live the longest in proportion to the length of time required for them to reach maturity of physical development.

  There are many reasons, most of them preventable, why people die young and hospitals are filled with the sick, whereas others are seldom ill and live three to ten times longer.

  It would logically seem that living creatures with the higher intelligence should be the ones to live the nearest to the requirements of the laws of Creation; but in action it seems to work the other way, the more intelligent creatures being those who appear to stray the farthest from the straight and narrow path which leads unto life (Mat. 7:13, 14).

  The large majority of the so-called health writers are not noted for longevity. They seem to die as early as those who read their writings. And some who live 120 years can’t tell why they lived so long, as in the case of Diamond, who lived 120 years, wrote a book on long life in 1904 when he was 108, on page 43 of which he itemized “My Daily Menu”, which is rather good, yet not one we would recommend.

  To reduce longevity to a scientific basis means that we must learn the requirements of the body and supply them. The fasts show that living is breathing. We can’t die as long as we can breathe—and we stop living when we stop breathing.

  Breathing is the primary function of the body. We can live for weeks without eating, and for days without drinking, but when we stop breathing for a few minutes, we stop living.

  And right here is the most neglected spot in the entire health field. Why is that so? First, ignorance; second, the claim of science that man lives on what he eats; and third, no one has yet found a way to commercialize air and breathing.

  This is the discouraging condition we found sixty years ago, when we set out to learn how to live healthy and long. And so, we began almost alone to learn something about breathing and the Breath of Life.

  The first valuable hint came when we found this: “If we maintain our blood in normal condition and circulation, sickness would be almost impossible. The blood is the life of the flesh. We are what we are by the influence of our blood flowing thru our body” (Bernarr Macfadden, in Vitality Supreme, 1910).

  Then there came another surprise when we discovered that blood is made of gas. The gases of the air constitute the total composition of the blood. We know that water is the product of the uniting of hydrogen and oxygen gases. When we drink water, we drink gases in fluid form. Blood is gases in fluid form. Everything can be transformed to gas by heat. The earth itself is constituted of condensed gas. There is the source and origin of all things.

  We have heard of fire damp, ignis fatuus, and will-o’-the-wisp. That fiery element is the Living Gas in what we eat and drink. That Living Gas is all the body uses of what we eat. Of that Living Gas the blood is made.

  This is the first valuable lesson in dietetics. Scientists talk learnedly and foolishly abo
ut protein, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, fats, lipids, etc., ignoring the fact that the ox, elephant, horse and moose live in good health all their days on grass and green leaves.

  The next lesson in dietetics is not to heat food and drive out of it the precious, volatile gases which the body uses in its laboratory to make its blood and the products it needs, which includes all the elements mentioned above.

  Remember this one: Creation never uses second-hand material in its building work. The protein in the food we eat never becomes the protein of our body. That protein has served its purpose, is a used product, and is never used again by Creation in its constructive work.

  The living gas in what we eat is all the body uses. The rest is useless waste, and cast off by the body as feces. Hence, most of what man eats goes down the sewer.

  As gases are all the body uses in making blood and bone and building flesh, consider the condition of the blood, bone and flesh that are made of the poisonous gases that saturate the air of modern civilization, where health is the exception instead of the rule. If a chemist analyzed the air we breathe and gave us his report, we would be shocked to learn the great amount of poison the body must endure to live in our polluted environment.

  This subject is so broad and vital, it would take a large book to discuss it adequately. But enough has been said to make a thinking person be more careful about the kind of air he breathes, the condition of the air in his home, and especially in his bedroom, where lack of activity during the night allows the air to stagnate and grow extra foul.

  That’s another reason why people die in their sleep. The polluted, stagnant air in their bedroom paralyzes the breathing center of the brain, and they just stop breathing.

  Stagnant air gets foul, like water in a stagnant pool. Keep the air in circulation in homes and bedrooms. Use electric fans for that purpose. Fewer people would die in their sleep if they had an electric fan in operation in their bedroom.

  This writer is only fifteen years under the century mark, which he expects to pass by many years, as he feels as fit as he did forty years ago. And he is telling the world here, in this work of his, some of the secrets of how he has done it.

  To an intelligent, unprejudiced person who can and does think, the information contained in this work may seem simple. But it is the fundamental simplicities that are always difficult to accept, because they are so very simple, and, therefore, unbelievable on that account.
