Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Product Information

Some descendants of the ancient Chimus are still living in a few fishing villages in the north of Peru Thirty percent of calories as fat is too low for most people, leading to low blood sugar and fatigue. Traditional diets contained 30 percent to 80 percent of calories as healthy fats, mostly of animal origin. Modern research has also revealed the many roles played by vitamin D, which is needed for mineral metabolism, healthy bones and nervous system, muscle tone, reproductive health, insulin production, protection against depression, and protection against chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

Fish liver oils such as cod liver oil (preferable to fish oils, which do not provide fat-soluble vitamins, can cause an overdose of unsaturated fatty acids and usually come from farmed fish.) When those same groups displaced their traditional diets with the “foods of commerce” as he called them – white sugar, white flour, refined vegetable oils and canned products – he observed marked signs degeneration: crooked teeth, dental caries, deformed jaw structures, arthritis and reduced immunity to tuberculosis became apparent and rampant in a relatively short span of time. Truth: A recent study found that women on very lowfat diets (less than 20%) had the same rate of breast cancer as women who consumed large amounts of fat (New England Journal of Medicine 2/8/96). At his return,..able’s offer accepted, Cain, well not. Why?…well remember…frame of mind, what was in each one’s heart ? We can now visualize our universe, its light, gravity and heat, its seasons, tides, and harvest, which prepare a habitation for the universe of vital forms, microscopic and majestic, which fill the oceans and the forests. We have a common denominator for universes within and around each other, our world, our food and our life have potentials so vast that we can only observe directions, not goals. We sense human achievements or ignominious race self-destruction. Every creed today vaguely seeks a utopia; all have visualized a common controlling force or deity as the most potent force in all human affairs. Yes, man’s place is most exalted when he obeys Mother Nature’s laws.”

In addition to his work on nutrition, Dr. Price conducted extensive research into the destructive effects of root canals, detailed in his two-volume work Dental Infections Oral & Systemic and Dental Infections & the Degenerative Diseases. His conclusions, ignored by the orthodox dental establishment for over fifty years, are gaining renewed acceptance as holistic practitioners are discovering that the first step to recovery from degenerative disease often involves removal of all root canals from the patient’s mouth. The principles of holistic dentistry, based on the research of Weston Price, are as follows: Eggs are nature’s perfect food, providing excellent protein, the gamut of vitamins and important fatty acids that contribute to the health of the brain and nervous system. Americans had less heart disease when they ate more eggs. Egg substitutes cause rapid death in test animals. Avoid aluminum-containing foods such as commercial salt, baking powder and antacids. Do not use aluminum cookware or deodorants containing aluminum. Avoid mercury (amalgam) fillings. If you have amalgam fillings and suspect they are contributing to health problems, have them removed by a holistic dentist who specializes in mercury filling replacement.For any whom believe what God’s word says in the bible, He gave for us to eat all the herbs and trees and so forth, and also after the fall gave to us basically all the animals and things which live upon the earth for to live and be healthy. One can read it themselves in the King James bible. So, with this in mind i believe in what Dr. Price found all over the world ~ people eating naturally the things he documented, which were available to them in thier locations. It just mKes sense and lines up completly to God’s word. In the bible we see butter, milk, meats, feuits, and all kinds of things such as wheat corn bread, etc. so it is really quite simple to see. This was before man had refrigeration and things of this nature. And man ate many of the herbs when in season and were healthy from that. So, for believers i simply encourage people to pray and see if these things are true. God will lead you in truth, show you how and waht to eat and i believe it will line up quite well with the things the Weston Price foundation says is true. Another wonderful things to learn is how to grow nutritionally dense vegetables and fruits using the so called Make your own salad dressing using raw vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and a small amount of expeller-expressed flax oil. The diets of healthy, nonindustrialized peoples contain at least four times the minerals and water-soluble vitamins, and TEN times the fat-soluble vitamins found in animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and Activator X, now thought to be vitamin K2) as the average American diet. Truth: The annual all-cause death rate of vegetarian men is slightly more than that of non-vegetarian men (0.93% vs 0.89%); the annual all-cause death rate of vegetarian women is significantly more than that of non-vegetarian women (0.86% vs 0.54%) ( Wise Traditions 2000 1:4:16-17).

A marked change in facial form with crowding of teeth occurs in jungle Indians born after adoption of modern foods Tooth decay in native of Isle of Harris living on modern foods and excellent teeth of natives living on primitive foodsThe isolated people Price photographed—with their fine bodies, ease of reproduction, emotional stability and freedom from degenerative ills—stand in sharp contrast to civilized moderns subsisting on the “displacing foods of modern commerce,” including sugar, white flour, pasteurized milk, lowfat foods, vegetable oils and convenience items filled with extenders and additives. Extract teeth only when necessary, and then in such a way as to avoid leaving the jaw bone with cavitations, which can be focal points of infection. Use organic whole grains, legumes and nuts that have been prepared by soaking, sprouting or sour leavening to neutralize phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors and other anti-nutrients. Avoid all industrial polyunsaturated vegetable oils made from soy, corn, safflower, canola or cottonseed. The seriousness of the dental caries problem in relation to both human progress and the dilemma of modern physical degeneration emphasizes the need of a bird’s-eye view of the problems involved in restoring to man his original immunity.
