MASTERS OF NUTRITION

 
My other hero besides Dr. Royal Lee is Dr. Weston A Price. I honestly get tears in my eyes and a feeling of gratitude when I think of all this man did to benefit humanity. Can you imagine traveling around the world to remote primitive areas, hauling heavy camera equipment, spending your own money, all to research the health and diets of people who are free from modern diseases.  He took over 15,000 photographs - mainly of teeth, skulls, and people. His landmark book, is still in print today after being first published in 1939.

Dr. Weston A. Price, DDS, was a dentist from Cleveland, who began his research into dental decay and physical degeneration in 1930.  He traveled the world studying isolated human groups to prove his theory that dental decay and deformities were a result of nutritional deficiencies. 

In his studies he found that groups with beautiful straight, decay free teeth, and resistance to disease were common among people eating their traditional nourishing diets as opposed to western devitalized processed foods.  These traditional diets contained at least 4 times the calcium and other essential minerals, and at least 10 times the fat soluble vitamins from animal foods such as butter, fish eggs, shellfish, and organ meats.

                                                                                                                      
Dr. Price wrote all of his research in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.  It includes striking photographs and persuasive conclusions to convince anyone to abandon the modern convenience foods and go back to the traditional nourishing foods we used to eat.

"Before I came in, I suffered from fatigue, social anxiety, and occasional episodes of low mood. Now, I have plenty of energy, my anxiety is gone, and I'm happy to say I've met the girl of my dreams and am engaged to be married!"

"What has been most astonishing is our 11 and 13 year old kids being able to take more responsibility over their own bodies and in monitoring and controlling what they take in and how it affects them. We feel much more confident that as we prepare them for being on their own, they will make good choices and will have the know-how to make adjustments and take responsibility for themselves."
