Introduction

     As shown above, we are in the Natural Healthcare Concepts Education Business.  This website presents an incredibly important health-related education report that can change your life for the better in several remarkable very valuable ways.

    The practical value of this website to you personally can be enormous - more valuable than you can even begin to comprehend at this point. 

     This website will introduce you to a goldmine of  vital health and healthcare concepts that can enable you to see and understand the conventional medical healthcare systems in America much more clearly and much more responsibly than you have ever seen them or understood them before.

     The founder and president of our company, ABC's of Health, Inc., is Lonnie Willoughby, Jr. (Lon Will o bee).  He is the author of this vital autobiographical health-related educational report that explains how and why we help American adult citizens enjoy a much healthier life than most American citizens know how to achieve.

     Read this extensive "free to review" health-related true story as if the quality of your life in future years depends upon this special knowledge - because it really does.  This vital special healthcare education can help you protect your precious natural health in remarkable ways. 

     Lon Willoughby carefully developed this revealing autobiographical healthcare-related report about his life in a "storybook fashion" for two main reasons. 

     The first reason is to present this vital health education report in an interesting, informative, and entertaining manner that will be easy to understand and easy to remember. 

     The second reason is to inform American citizen adult visitors about Lonnie Willoughby in sufficient detail that visitors can get to know him well and develop confidence in his educational abilities. 

     As the author of this true health-related story, Lon reports some of his important formative life experiences so you can understand the person that he matured into as he aged over 84 years. 

     You will learn about the challenging way that he became an exceptionally well-informed natural healthcare consultant, nutrition consultant, and natural healthcare and wellness concepts classroom educator. 

     Lon is now capable of helping many American adult citizens learn how to take much better care of their precious natural health and their vital natural healthcare assets (natural component functions in the human body that constantly strive to maintain optimized health).

     Throughout this true health-related report, each American adult visitor will need to be considering whether or not the author has believe-ability, credibility, and dependability about the very important health concepts and natural healthcare and wellness concepts that he introduces to American visitors in this health-related report. 

     If you learn enough about the author that you develop confidence in his honesty and his integrity, and his sense of dedication to his sincere purpose of presenting vital natural healthcare and wellness concepts education for American adult citizens, and if you also develop a sense of confidence about his intellect and his extensive knowledge of vital natural healthcare and wellness concepts, then the health concepts presented in this vital health-related report can have super beneficial affects on your life - probably throughout the rest of your life. 

     However, if this true autobiographical report does not enable you to confidently believe that these healthcare and wellness education concepts are very important valid concepts that you need to know about, this may be an interesting and  informative and entertaining true health-related report, but you will likely not get a lot of healthcare benefits from the healthcare and wellness concepts that are revealed by Lon Willoughby.

     Understanding those relevant factors, the author has tried to share enough personal information about his life experiences to enable American visitors to make those important decisions and judgments about him in a fair-minded, reasonable, and responsible manner. 

     Be patient with the author here; relax, and enjoy this "true healthcare-related report" because it will present some incredibly important and valuable healthcare and wellness concepts that can be vital life-changing concepts for most American adult citizens - and maybe for you also.

    Some of this health education may be life-saving information for many American visitors, and this healthcare education may be life-saving for you. 

    This "true life story" will introduce you to vital healthcare and wellness concepts that can help you learn about some responsible, and sensible actions that you can take to improve your life and better protect your natural health - probably for the rest of your life. 

     This may be the most important health-oriented story (or health-oriented report) that you have ever read.  You can evaluate this educational story after you complete the two-part story presented by Lon Willoughby. 

     Part One of this true autobiographical story is presented at this website; Part Two of this vital healthcare-related story is presented at our main healthcare concepts education website.  (www dot  ABCofHealth dot com)

     American adult visitors will be detoured to our main healthcare concepts education website at the appropriate time with a convenient detour link. 

     The two-parts of this lengthy autobiographical story will present life-changing healthcare concepts that can be exceptionally important and very valuable to American adult visitors. 

    Please understand that Lon Willoughby will not attempt to educate American adult visitors about which nutrition supplements they should take (herbs, minerals, proteins, vitamins, etc.) or how much of each of those nutrition supplements visitors should take daily. 

    Furthermore, you understand that Lon Willoughby does not have personalized health data (laboratory reports and other vital health data) for each American adult that visits this website; consequently, Lon cannot make those individual assessments in a practical responsible manner.      

    You also understand that Lon has not been informed about the various health conditions of each American adult visitor, and he has not been informed about the pharmaceutical prescription drugs that some American adult visitors may be taking - pursuant to a medical doctor's advice.

    It should be clear that Lon Willoughby cannot provide those valuable personalized healthcare services for visitors in various USA locations.

    However, this two-part true autobiographical  story will present vital health and healthcare concepts education that can be very important for almost all competent American adult citizens. 

Premature Deaths in America

Lon's Early Life Experiences

     Lonnie Jr. was generally a healthy person while growing up on a farm in North Carolina.  He feels really fortunate to have grown up in that rural farming environment because he learned many important things about living a natural life - similar in many respects to the farmers who were busy growing food for Americans in the 1800's. 

    Lon's father and mother were both intelligent responsible farming people who had grown up on their own family's farm. They both grew up in large families with multiple brothers and sisters.

     Lon's parents were hard working farmers with a strong desire to be productive, progress, and to succeed in life.  They helped first-born son Lonnie Jr. learn how to plant, nourish, grow and harvest many food products for sale and as food. 

     Those important experiences enabled Lonnie Jr. (Lon) to understand how several food products are planted, and how they are nourished with fertilizer nutrients, cared for carefully during their growing season, and then harvested properly for marketing. 

     A ton of fertilizer is equal to 2,000 pounds of nutrients for plants, usually supplied in 200 pound bags.  As a high school student, Lon weighed only 133 pounds (5 feet, 8 1/2 inches tall), but he learned how to manhandle those 200 pound bags of fertilizer pretty well. 

     For a number of years, while he was growing up on the farm, Lon distributed many tons of plant fertilizer to various types of plants (in large fields - many acres in each field).

    His parents also helped him learn how to raise animals such as chickens, a milk cow, and about 20 White Faced Hereford beef cows, and several hogs.  Those animals could be sold to local people and some animals would provide food for the family.

     Over the years, Lon milked a series of milk cows, milking one milk cow each morning, seven days per week.  That continued until he was graduated from high school and went off to college, leaving that daily chore for his younger brother (his only sibling - who was about 20 months younger). 

    The Willoughby family had fresh cow's milk to drink daily.  They made their own natural butter from some of that milk.  They also had a lot of chicken eggs, and plenty of chicken, beef, and pork to eat and to also sell to other local people.

    Each year, they had a large garden where they grew an assortment of special vegetables for additional food.  Lon's mother also canned some of those vegetables for food during later months (canned food for the fall and winter seasons and early spring season).

     His mother also baked white refined "enriched" flour as loaf bread and as biscuits for the family to eat with meals.  She was a very good cook who knew how to prepare very good meals.

    Lon always had a friendly happy dog as a pet. 

    It was a very good life for a young farm boy with lots of interesting and challenging things to do and to learn as he was growing up.   

    Lon remembers that he was twelve years old when the local electric company made electric service available to the farms located beside the narrow two lane dirt road where he lived (about two miles from the nearest town - Tabor City, NC).  The small town was near the South Carolina state border - about forty-five road miles from Myrtle Beach, SC. 

    Prior to that time (in year 1948), the Willoughby's did not have hot and cold running water at their kitchen sink - there was no electricity to operate an electric pump to get well water into their home. 

    Without electric service, they could not have electric lights, or an electric refrigerator, or an electric water heater.  Consequently, they could not have a conventional bathroom because they did not have cold and hot running water in their home. 

     Bathing (washing) was done from a "foot-tub" - a larger than normal bucket (galvanized steel) that contained water from the well - warm water was produced by mixing well water with water that had been heated on the kitchen stove. 

     Until the Willoughby's got electricity in 1948, they had a typical outdoor toilet (outhouse) instead of a commode.  They did not have toilet tissue - just pages torn from last year's Sears and Roebuck Catalog or last year's Almanac.  When those pages were all gone, they used corn cobs from ears of corn that had been run through the manually operated hand-turned corn shelling machine. 

     There was no convenient way to wash one's hands after using the outhouse as a urinal or for a bowel movement. 

     Visitors should realize that this is the way that most rural people in America had lived for many years.  Was it much different for city dwellers during those same years? 

     Lon doesn't know, but he believes that many people living in Tabor City, NC did have electricity and bathrooms with cold and hot water long before the late 1940's - early 1950's when rural America began to get electrical service.

     Small towns and larger towns and cities throughout America had previously had major sanitation problems for hundreds of years - they had problems with disposing of human bowel movement waste and urination waste.     

     Without electricity and electric pumps, effective practical sewage systems were not available for small size, medium size, and larger towns and cities.  That was also a common major sanitation problem throughout Europe and many other locations, as it had been for thousands of years.

Important History     

      Prior to 1864, people throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and America had been dying at young ages in large numbers for a long time, but no one knew what was causing so much sickness and death because bacteria had not been discovered yet.

     Bacteria were not discovered until about 1864 -  by French chemist Louis Pasteur (working in France).

     As a result of education efforts started by Louis Pasteur, and public newspaper articles, medical doctors and nurses in France began to learn about bacterial infections during the 1864 - 1866 time period. 

     Prior to that time, medical doctors and nurses (everywhere) did not know about the great importance of washing their hands between patients - even when they were delivering babies in hospitals or when they were conducting surgery of any kind in hospitals. 

     Prior to 1864, medical doctors and nurses (in all locations) did not know that surgical tools and utensils needed to be carefully washed and "sanitized" after every use. 

     If those tools and utensils were casually wiped off and appeared to be reasonably "clean" - that was good enough - they routinely thought.  They did not realize that some very dangerous microbes were too small to see with human eyes. 

     Many serious microbial infections had been passed from patient to patient by medical doctors and nurses throughout history without them realizing those critically important microbial  transmission problems.

     Medical doctors and nurses in France began to learn to wash their hands and medical tools and utensils carefully between patients some time after 1864.

     It was many years after that before a lot of adults in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America had been educated to understand that human hands needed to be washed, even when they looked like they were reasonably clean - before eating food (with their bare hands, as common people ate most of their food in most locations on Planet Earth).   

     During the Civil War in America (April 12, 1861 to May 26, 1865), injured soldiers on both sides of the conflict suffered terribly from dangerous bacterial infections.

     Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died after days, weeks, or months of very painful suffering from microbial infections. 

     Medical doctors and nurses in America did not learn about dangerous bacterial infections, and then gradually learn how to treat those infections, until some time after the civil war ended on May 26, 1865.

Back to the Willoughby Family 

    Most farm families used wood burning stoves to cook food with, but Lon's parents used bottled propane gas to fuel their modern gas stove.  They also had two small propane gas heaters to help the wood burning fireplace (in the living room) heat their home during cold winter weather. 

    Lon remembers that the two bedrooms would get really cold during the winter because there was no heat source in each bedroom and no way to circulate heat from the living room fireplace, or the two small propane gas heaters into the bedrooms. 

     One small propane gas heater was in the short hallway going to the bedrooms, and it did help heat the two bedrooms somewhat.  However, without electricity, they could not have electric fans blow heated air into the two bedrooms so very little heated air got into the bedrooms.

    Lon's parents had learned some helpful information in their public high schooling about dangerous bacteria, and they had purchased a big white appliance that was cooled internally by a big block of ice (it needed to be replaced when the block of ice melted over a period of many days).  That ice box appliance was used to keep food cool to reduce the potential for bacterial contamination.

    Periodically, the ice man would reliably come by their farm home to sell them a replacement big block of ice. 

    Things improved a lot after they got electric power service to the home in 1948.  Lon's father installed an electric water pump for the well water (previously used a hand operated pump). 

     They now had working electric lights and electrical outlets in each room because the home had been wired for electricity when Lon's father had their home built several years before 1948.  He proceeded to install an electric water heater.

    The new electric water pump enabled them to have adequate water pressure for both cold and hot running water at the kitchen sink.

    Lon's parents also purchased an electric refrigerator to replace their "ice box" appliance. 

    Lon's father had also installed water pipes for the kitchen sink and the bathroom when the house was built.  He proceeded to install bathroom plumbing fixtures, including a lavatory sink, a white metal enclosure shower stall, and a commode. 

    With their new electric water pump and their electric water heater, they had hot and cold running water for the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink and the shower, and they had cold water pressure for operation of the commode - which used a typical septic tank for bowel and urine waste residue.

    WOW!!! Getting electricity to their home enabled all of those major improvements for their two bedroom home that Lon's father had built years before with a small vacant room for that bathroom.

    Several years later, when Lon was in high school, they got telephone line service out to their home, and it was really convenient to be able to easily receive and send telephone communications. 

     They also got a black and white picture T.V. set.  The only usable T.V. transmitting station was about 65 road miles away in Wilmington, North Carolina.  Lon's father installed a tall metal telescoping T.V. antenna pole with a large T.V. antenna at the top. 

    That antenna received enough T.V. signal to provide a fair quality T.V. picture; it was much better than having no T.V. service.  Prior to that time, their only daily contact with the outside world (news media, music, etc.) was with their radio. 

    Lon remembers those important improvements, and he reports these situations for visitors who have been city dwellers all of their life. 

    Visitors can get some understanding of how typical rural farming families lived throughout America prior to the late 1940's to the early 1950's - when electric power services began to be installed in many rural areas in America due to some very important U.S. Government assistance programs. 

    Unlike city residential areas, where homes are fairly close together, rural farming families lived much further apart.  Consequently, electric companies would not invest the money needed to install many miles of electric power distribution lines in rural areas. 

     There were not enough potential customers per mile for power companies to justify spending the large amount of money needed to pay for installing many miles of electric distribution lines to acquire  a small number of additional paying customers. 

    Without the federal government assistance funded programs such as the Rural Electric Authority (REA), or the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), those electric power distribution lines would not have been installed for rural farm families in southern states (including rural North Carolina, where Lon Willoughby's family lived). 

    Those federal government assistance funded programs were part of the New Deal under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt that helped Americans recover from the very serious economic depression of the early 1930's - that actually began with the major stock market crash in October 1929.

    If southern rural area farmers were fortunate enough to get electric power service to their home, their life could improve a lot, as shown above for the very fortunate and happy Lonnie Willoughby family. 

Flash Back In Time

    It is important to pause here briefly and think back and remember that early Americans did not have electric power services (thus no electric lights, no water pumps and other types of electrical appliances).  Consequently, early Americans did not have hot and cold running water for their kitchen sinks.  They did not have bathrooms, like most Americans very fortunately have today. 

     Trying to heat homes in the winter time was a major responsibility to deal with, and this was usually done with wood burning fireplaces or wood burning heaters or stoves of various types. 

Lon's Education and Training

     Lon attended 12 years of public schooling in the Tabor City school system, and he was graduated from the Tabor City High School in June 1954.  There were fifty students in his graduating class.

     He began his freshman year of college in the fall of 1954, at Mars Hill College, in Mars Hill, North Carolina (near Ashville, NC).  This was a Southern Baptist oriented college that had a very good  academic reputation for nearby colleges.

     Lon realized that his parents were hard working farmers, and it was a difficult financial struggle for them to pay for his college expenses, in addition to all of their other many farm operating expenses.

      Lon's small high school did not have a guidance counselor to help senior students try to determine what kind of career work they wanted to do. 

      He understood farming work, but he did not know what kind of work he wanted to do after his college education was completed.  Consequently, he did not know which college study curriculum would be the best curriculum for him to choose. 

     He was technically oriented so he chose to get educated in the pre-engineering study curriculum (chemistry, physics, mathematics, and English). 

     A point of interest - electronic calculators had not been invented so engineering type students used "slide rules" for several types of calculations.

     After completing the freshman year of college, Lon decided to join the U.S. Air Force (USAF).  He realized that this decision would eliminate additional college expenses for his parents, and he believed that his Air Force education and work experiences would probably help him make important career decisions that would affect his working career in the future.

     As reported in this autobiographical story, that was a good projection of what actually happened during Lon's four years in the U.S. Air Force. 

      Lon's decision to join the U.S. Air Force turned out to be a very good decision for the Air Force, and it also turned out to be a very good decision with regard to Lon's future career work options. 

     Airman Willoughby received some very good education and training that helped him greatly in determining a career path forward after he completed his four years enlistment in the USAF.

     Joining the Air Force was probably the best decision that Lon could have made about his future career work.  Let's review how that decision worked for the Air Force and for Airman Willoughby.

U.S. Air Force Basic Training

     During the first two days of basic training in September 1955 at Lackland Air Force Base (AFB), located near San Antonio, Texas, the two instructors in charge of the flight of 60 airmen recruits selected airman Lon Willoughby to be the "flight leader" for that flight of basic trainees.

     Lon was apparently a good "flight leader" because that flight of basic trainees won every award that was available for a flight of basic trainees to win while going through basic training.
