Dedicated to the beautiful people that made me who I am. This book represents the many years of assimilation and education of my innate sense of me. As Popeye once said many times over, I am who I am
and That’s what I am!
I’m Dr. Larry, the Healthtrarian Man! So to you, the reader, understand how much each one of these special human beings means to me. Without these people who shaped my opinions over the years, I would not be able to convey my earnest and knowledgeable ideas of what true living is all about. Live hard or hardly live. Die old and die young
—this is my vision. It encompasses that Trinity of Life, the Greeners adaptation of this theme.
To my father, I give the top spot of my list. Enjoy my book of health and remember that without Kenneth P. Oexner, none of this is possible. His unique way of getting me to devour the wonders of nature’s gifts of life made me into the adult that I am always becoming. Now enjoy the names of those in no particular order produced Dr. Larry L. Oexner: Kimberly Z. Oexner, my beautiful companion in the healthtrarian living; our son, Quentin Oexner, who keeps me from becoming a dinosaur (dinosaurs went extinct!); Rev. Bill Groennert, my lifelong mentor, friend, and guide through my most torturous years of knowing who I will be and becoming who I am! Without Reverend Bill, I would not have found peace in my life. Tim Thurman, the most courageous nonconformist that I have ever called my friend; Ms. Mary Roediger, the greatest schoolteacher I had ever known. I thank her every day for her devotion to bring the creative best out of me. Darrell Blume, my 1970s protégé; Mike Smith, a great friend to myself and Darrell; Mary Chavez, Bob Jones, Yvonne Bills, Sandy Emerson, and Joe Thompson, who rounded out the Denver Gang of Hippies; Jerry Pitzer, my trout fishing companion on snowy Friday afternoons at Deckers, Colorado; Greg Conner and David Larkin, whom I could not have learned to be a giving soul; Ernest Robbins, for being eighty years young and teaching me how to make cornbread dressing; Dr. Jim Bryant, my athletic director and mentor at Metro State College in Denver in 1974; University of Florida, for allowing me to graduate; Drs. Pat Carraher and Paul Burns, whom I would not have ever graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic without their friendship; my brother Leon and Marty, for being brothers; my mother, for her caring and her simple wisdom of wanting me to achieve a higher education that I still work at every day. I miss her wonderful whole wheat, raw honey, organic strawberry pies! Jessie Yonnaly, my swamp trekking pal; Dr. Julius Chambers, who would go with me to professional wrestling shows and who was upset when I decided to enter chiropractic school instead of medical school; Ronnie Parker, my guide into the Ocala National Forest, where we chewed on palm nettles and wild blueberries; Abe Polansky, for hiring me to run the Jewish Community Center in Denver in 1974, the beginning of a long run of adventures in the wonderful world of physical fitness; and to all my patients over these thirty-five years that have encouraged the writing of this book.
Any persons I have omitted, I will take up in my next healthtrarian Trinity of Life series of books.
The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.
- Thomas Edison
Chapter 1
Introduction
While doing sixty-nine lapses in our community pool and finishing it off with sixty-nine minutes of full-body resistance work against the water’s defiance, a wake-up call struck me as if I had been slammed in the face with an artificially flavored cream pie with red dye no. 5 cherries! My life is as fragile as anyone I have lectured to on the benefits of healthful living. Life is as fleeting as reality has made it. Today is my sixty-ninth birthday, and I celebrated it the only way that made sense to me. It is a beautifully warm day in Florida. I am conscious of my temporary stay on this planet ever more than usual. Long live the Trinity of Life!
Our lives are a study of choices, chances, and environment. When we are born, we have no choice of where, when, or how, yet at a very early age, we start putting the concepts of how we will react and act to our daily experiences. We make choices about our chances to survive and exist in this world. Adulthood is complicated by complex and responsible actions and reactions. Each one of us has a decision to make one fearful and glorious day. We must take this responsibility to expand, serve, and produce a positive statement in this world. Yet many of God’s children will fall short. Some will rebound back from their calamities. Some never take the opportunity to succeed in the first place. I am no different: I have been to the mountaintop, I have fallen into the deepest valleys, but I never lose faith in the Trinity of Life that was given to me to follow. In health comes wealth. In happiness comes peace. In education comes opportunity. Today is the beginning of a great relationship with the universe and where you will focus your choices on the chances of life. Chemical, physical, and spiritual will be our hallmark of redemption to the universe that begs our responsibility to the life we were given to succeed with.
May peace be with you through this journey of better health. Let’s go forth and beyond, my friends. Star date is now 07031948.17!
Weeds, seeds, and greens are the basic premise and foundation of our ultimate healthful living strategy. Weeds are described by me as those grasses that are available to you that you have never made a part of your daily eating habits. Seeds are those parts of the food chain that you may have been missing out on, such as pumpkin, sunflower, and watermelon seeds, not the salted type that baseball players spit into the dugout and onto the field, but raw unsalted seeds that can be obtained at many health stores and now grocery stores also. Greens will be classified as those peculiar oddities that our mothers would yell at us as children to eat on our plates at suppertime, known as dinner in other parts of the world. Eat those green beans, broccoli, and peas!
There is a movement among some nutritional gurus to eliminate grains totally from our diets, when the complete picture would conclude that non-genetically altered grains are beneficial for our health when eaten in original form, which I classify as seeds.
Eating oats, millet, barley, quinoa, amaranth, rice, wheat, etc. as part of our regular diet is fine when in their original berry/kernel non-GMO form. Get the picture? Eat a balanced food program in its original shape, form, and virgin nutritional value.
What does virgin nutritional value mean? It means that every day of your life, eat 99 percent of your foods raw, uncooked, and unprocessed. This will give you the maximum opportunity to live the most quality days on this planet. I can’t promise you a season tickets to the NFL or the ultimate happy drug, but I can promise you the same thing I promise myself. I may wake up tomorrow and be told I have cancer or any multitude of diseases, but I can attest that I gave it my all as God had intended for me to do. Eat correctly, exercise properly, and have the best positive attitude possible each day of my life. Yes, I hope we all wake up to see another day of blissful peace, happiness, and health.
And what is health? you ask. It is our body functioning at peak efficiency, given the cards we are dealt at birth, the chances and choices we take, and our ability to forge ahead with sensible discipline.
The discipline is needed to keep faith and direction in your lives. It is enhanced by following the guide laid out by this book. You will be inspired, and you will be motivated to permanently stay ahead of slipping back to some of those poor health habits that were created since our birth. Our parents tried their best to give us what they thought were healthy meals. Those who lived in the fifties and early sixties must surely remember those TV dinners, canned ravioli, canned green beans, and instant mashed potatoes on the dining room table while you watched I Love Lucy and The Milton Berle Show.
Remember, chances and choices create the lifestyle that we eventually adopt. They become lifelong habits, traditions, and excuses for many weaknesses and strengths that could and should be transformed into always positive, educated, and ever-changing decisions for active daily lives.
If I have not yet piqued your interest to better your health, keep reading on. I guarantee that you will be changed and your choices will be made with a better understanding of how important your health is every day you wake up and go to sleep. Say amen, brother! Now you feel life coming back into each step you take!
Weeds, seeds, and greens will be our foundation of health. Sit back and enjoy the ride!
Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one.
- Astrid Alauda
Chapter 2
It’s My Life, It’s My Story, and I’m Sticking to It!
July 3, 1948, on a Saturday at 4:00 p.m., I was born into this absolutely gorgeous world. For the first month, my mother fed me through a dropper due to a cleft upper lip, aka harelip. The physicians at the Missouri Pacific Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, did a marvelous surgery, reconstructing the large gap in between my upper lip. My only limitation to this date is that I cannot whistle because of the loss of control on the left side of my lip. For the first eighteen years of my life, no one ever bothered to explain to me this whistling difficulty. I practiced and I practiced to no avail. To this day, whistling is a simple and primeval art form in my daily activities. My cleft lip was never spoken of in family or friend circles. I endured many harelip jokes told in my presence due to the gracious fact that mine was mild compared to many I have encountered personally and studied throughout my life. Which brings me to this statement of pure frustration, jealousy, and lightheartedness: My father was such a great whistler.
I would listen to him imitate fire trucks, policemen, many birds, and an assorted number of songs to accompany his guitar playing. His whistle was so shrill that you had to cuff your ears at times when he used it to find my brother and me anywhere in the neighborhood. He would be asked to perform his whistling talents over and over again during his years of entertaining as a musician. The finality of my cleft lip saga is that I taught myself to slow down and speak clearly, to pronounce my words with clarity and with distinction. There was no money for speech therapy in my childhood, no money for doctors for any health issues except for the most severe, and there were some about to take place in my life. The Trinity of Life had not emerged from my soul as of yet. It was waiting to be discovered.
By the age of six months I was back in the hospital with a severely bruised liver from a fall from my crib to the wooden floor in our small asbestos home. Oh yes, I should mention that not only was the outside of our home
