This past week Katy’s dad – Dr. Fred E. Adams – shuffled off his mortal coil at the ripe old age of 100 years & 8 months.
And in memoriam I would like to pass on a few words of wisdom from one who reached a milestone that unfortunately very few ever attain.
1. Fred was born into a 7th Day Adventist family in the early 20th C and as such didn’t eat meat until he was in his mid-twenties – a huge start in developing a strong digestive system. Work toward a plant-based diet for optimal health.
2. Fred practiced dentistry until he was well into his 70s – and we all know how demanding that can be. He had a habit of taking a nap in his office after lunch every day. This helped him get through his daily schedule and reinforced a strong nervous system. Conserve your energy at all times.
3. Fred was never happier than when he was helping others and so he made his occupation one of service – which reinforced his positive mental outlook. Be happy and know that nature never does anything to harm you.
4. Fred realized that throughout life we are constantly faced with making choices/decisions. He oft-times reiterated to me that it is often necessary to ‘step back’ from a situation – to view it from different angles and take time to think before acting. – What one person has done – so may another. If you want to live a long, happy and healthy life – you can – there are many successful examples to follow.
5. Fred’s father was fond of saying to his son – “The best is not too good for you Freddie boy” – Professor Edmond Bordeaux Szekely in his monumental work “Cosmos, Man and Society” coins the phrase ‘Omnilateral Aristology’ – meaning that we should take the best from all sources of goodness. I implore you to imbibe the best of all forms of radiations that sustain us on this planet – and in this manner you will accrue a value of health and happiness that is next to none.
His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,
And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
William Shakespeare
Thank you Fred – for all your knowledge, wisdom and love.
All the very best for your health and happiness.
