BASICS - THE BIOGENICS In 1977, I created the concept of Biogenics, the ''genesis of life,'' with my first major book, 9O DAYS TO SELF-HEALTH. Initially this included a major ''software'' program for biofeedback and cassette tapes of a number of the mental exercises. Over the ensuing decades our research has expanded so that I can comfortably state that AVERAGE life expectancy should by 100 years IF one chooses a healthy lifestyle--- Eat wisely, avoid tobacco and street drugs, exercise daily, keep weight within the ideal and BE POSITIVE. There are a number of tools that assist this process and, indeed, by adding a few techniques, I believe average life expectancy can be a healthy 140 years. A truly wise lifestyle includes:
DIET: Emphasize fruits, vegetables, nuts and a wide variety of flesh foods (fish, beef, chicken, pork, etc) Whole grains in moderation; potatoes and starches in moderation Butter and NEVER margarine Olive oil for cooking and salads One to two eggs daily, unless you have FAMILIAL hypercholesterolemia Old-fashioned peanut butter; NEVER hydrogenated or with sugar. Smuckers Almonds, cashews, pecans, and peanuts or fruit for snacks or to satisfy that ''extra'' need Cheese, yogurt, buttermilk, unless allergic to milk SUPPLEMENTS: 90 to 110 pounds: 2 Dr. Shealy's ESSENTIALS 3 Dr. Shealy's YOUTH FORMULA 2 tsp Biogenics 111 to 130 pounds: 3 ESSENTIALS 4 YOUTH FORMULA 2 teaspoons Magnesium Lotion twice daily Above 130 pounds: 4 ESSENTIALS 4 YOUTH FORMULAS 3 teaspoons Magnesium lotion twice daily ALL men after age 50: Beta sitosterol, 1200 mg daily IODINE: Check your temperature a few times.
