Friday, October 22, 1982 Programmed to By MICHAEL HUDSON SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -Statistics which show that Americans now live much longer lives than their forefathers are misleading, suggests author R. William Whitmer. Basically, Whitmer thinks that not much has changed as far as health has concerned since the ancient Romans recommended the life of "vita sobria" moderation. He says we could live much we're longer than we do programmed for about 100 years. But we need to work a lot harder to achieve that. Whitmer says the adult life span has changed little since 1900, if the higher infant mortality rates of yesteryear and previous deaths from epidemic diseases now under control are tossed out. He noted that in 1900, 22 percent of deaths came from cardiovascular causes, while now the percentage is more than half. "In fact, people in those days in many ways lived healthier lives than people do now," he said. "They worked harder, so 100 Live Till they got enough exercise, and their diet was more natural, especially where fiber foods are concerned. They didn't have to contend w.th junk food." "They usually got enough exercise because they worked harder," he said, also noting that few women smoked in those days. "In addition, they probably had as much stress as we do today, but it was more manageable. Nowadays, stress is more often caused by factors beyond our control." But Whitmer thinks people are built to live to 100 years of age. "When artificial organs are developed, the life span will probably go to 200," he added. So why don't we live to be 100? "Most deaths are breaking them down into basic compenents and teaching the subconscious to send new signals to the body. He insists that the only reason for smoking is an addiction to nicotine. Once this and the effects that smoking have on the body are understood, the smoker is on the road to cutting down or giving up tobacco. "The can't think," body ," life-style- SCOTTSDALE. Ariz. (UPI) -Dr. Donald Robertson says the best way for fat people to lose weight is to "starve." Shedding weight, he says, is the proeasy part of his weight-los- s gram. The hard part is helping his patients keep the pounds off. "The body perceives it's being starved, then allows fat stored to become available for mobilization," Robertson said. Robertson, who uses a weight-los- s program offered in nine clinics across the country, says 40 percent of patients on the program are able to Keep their weight off indefinitely. Sound familiar? 4 the Logan LDS Temple. A wedding breakfast in Perry followed. in I 1 y J .. Blackburn and Peter G. Lindner at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The program involves a modified fast diet and counseling by a nutritionist, clinical psychologist and exercise specialist. Blackburn reported in a five-yefollow-u- p of patients on his program that 75 to 80 percent lost 50 pounds or more and 40 percent were able to keep the weight off. Robertson said bariatrics the medical management of the adult has acquired overweight patient a "shady" image because it has been poorly regulated, allowing many "quacks" to operate. "The proliferation of clinics has been only in the 1970's," he said. "When people saw how much money was in this. thing they jumped on the bandwagon." The American Society of Bariatric Physicians estimates the total amount spent by Americans on weight reduction in 1981 at $15.4 to $17.2 billion. ar 0 of .m. - - m tm I m VJBBBBBBBbFY p o evening.

Most patients at lose about a pound of fat a oay a cost of about $15 to $18 per pound, he said. Later, patients are reintroduced gradually to vegetables, breads, dairy products and fruit, until they learn now to eat a balanced diet while still maintaining their weight.

Those signals often are sent in ignorance." Whitmer emphasized that the person who decides to revolutionize his life by trying to change all his bad health habits is probably doomed to failure. He strongly urged that one problem be tackled at a time. The subconscious is "a single channel instrument," he said. Whitmer also warned of the dangers of excesive coffee drinking. He strongly urged drinking decaffinated coffee and said that excessive coffee drinking can affect the heart, blood pressure, kidney and brains. he said bluntly. Whitmer said the "negative of smoking, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, obesity, stress and drinking are the main causes of early death.
