Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

Product Information

Modern research completely validates the findings of Dr. Price. We now know that vitamin A is vital for mineral and protein metabolism, the prevention of birth defects, the optimum development of infants and children, protection against infection, the production of stress and sex hormones, thyroid function, and healthy eyes, skin and bones. Vitamin A is depleted by stress, infection, fever, heavy exercise, exposure to pesticides and industrial chemicals, and excess protein consumption (hence our warnings against the consumption of excess protein in the form of lean meat, lowfat milk and protein powders.) Solid state physics Quantum theory Chemical bonds SCIENCE Physics Condensed Matter Física do estado sólido Mecânica quântica These indigenous people with their fine bodies, homogeneous reproduction, emotional stability and freedom from degenerative ills stand forth in sharp contrast to those subsisting on the impoverished foods of civilization-sugar, white flour, pasteurized milk and convenience foods filled with extenders and additives. Under the stress of the industrial depression, the family dietary for the children in this mission group was very deficient. During the experiment, the home meals were not changed, nor was the home care of the teeth. The preliminary studies of each child included complete x-ray examination of all the teeth, chemical analyses of the saliva, a careful plotting of the position, size and depth of all cavities, a record of the height and weight and a record of school grades, including deportment. It is important to note that the home diet which had been responsible for the tooth decay, was exceedingly low in body-building and repair material and high in sweets and refined starches. It usually consisted of a highly sweetened coffee and white bread, vegetable fat, pancakes made of a white flour and eaten with syrup and doughnuts fried in vegetable fat. The diet provided these children in the supplemental meal was as follows: About 4 ounces of tomato juice or orange juice and a teaspoonful of a mixture of equal parts of a very high vitamin, natural cod-liver oil and an especially high vitamin butter oil was given at the beginning of the meal. The child then received a bowl containing approximately a pint of a very rich vegetable and meat stew, made largely from bone marrow and fine cuts of tender meat. The meat was usually broiled separately to retain its juice and then chopped very fine and added to the bone-marrow meat soup, which always contained finely chopped vegetables and plenty of very yellow carrots. The next course consisted of cooked fruit, with very little sweetening, and rolls made from freshly ground whole wheat and spread with high vitamin butter. The wheat for the rolls was ground fresh every day in a motor-driven coffee mill. Each child was given also 2 glasses of fresh whole milk. The menu was varied from day to day by substituting for the meat stew fish chowder or organs of animals. From time to time, food similar to that eaten by the children was placed in a 2-quart jar and brought to my laboratory, where chemical analysis showed that these meals provided approximately 1.48 gm. of calcium and 1.28 gm. of phosphorus in a single helping of each course. Since many of the children took “seconds,” their intake of these minerals was much higher. Since the accepted figures for the requirements of the body for calcium and phosphorus are 0.68 gm. of calcium and 1.32 gm. of phosphorus, it is obvious that this one meal a day, plus the other two meals at home, provided a factor of safety. Clinically, this program completely controlled the dental caries of each member of the group, as determined by x-ray and explorer examination.

Truth: In some people, consumption of soy foods will lower cholesterol, but there is no evidence that lowering cholesterol lowers one’s risk of developing heart disease.Salt is crucial to digestion and assimilation. Salt is also necessary for the development and function of the nervous system. Because of the extreme severity and extent of the dental operations needed, restoration was not undertaken locally, but the patient was sent to Cleveland from a southern state; also for the management and care of her case. The operative program was completed by my associate Dr. Richard Spayde. The roots of three of the straight-rooted teeth with extensive pulp exposure were filled. Another tooth had had its roots filled before the patient came to me. The lower two rows of teeth show them as restored. Physical changes in Mongoloid type due to movement of maxillary bones to stimulate pituitary gland in base of brain In my early reports on the vitamin content of dairy products,’ I used this test as a measure of the vitamin D content. My data revealed that the nutritional factor it represented included aids to mineral utilization, as well as potency for dental caries immunity. I have accordingly used this method for testing the value of foods, particularly dairy products, for potency in controlling dental caries, and of associated health factors. In my early reports on the levels of this activating substance in butter as measured by the chemical test reported by Yoder, I expressed the values as vitamin D; but, as my studies progressed, it was revealed clearly that the qualities which I was concerned with in butter were not comparable to vitamin D as represented by ergosterol that had been exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Since butter contained definite nutritional qualities not provided in irradiated ergosterol in addition to its antirachitic properties, I accordingly dropped the term vitamin D, as expressed in Yoder’s test, and, for want of a better means of identification, used in my records the term activator X. Avoid processed, pasteurized milk; do not consume ultrapasteurized milk products, lowfat milk, skim milk, powdered milk or imitation milk products.

Eat full-fat milk products from pasture-fed cows, preferably raw and/or fermented, such as raw milk, whole yogurt, kefir, cultured butter, full-fat raw cheeses and fresh and sour cream. Truth: Vitamin B12 is not absorbed from plant sources. Modern soy products actually increase the body’s need for B12 ( Soybeans: Chemistry & Technology Vol 1 1972). Changes in facial and dental arch development in children of first generation after adoption by parents of modern foods Vitamin K2 plays an important role in growth and facial development, normal reproduction, development of healthy bones and teeth, protection against calcification and inflammation of the arteries, myelin synthesis and learning capacity. It is important to note with regard to the effect of the special nutritional program on this group of mission children that two different teachers came to me to inquire as to what had been done to make a particular child change from one of the poorest in the class in capacity to learn to one of the best. Dental caries is only one of the many expressions of our modern deficient nutrition.

Nutrition and physical degeneration

Dietary cholesterol contributes to the strength of the intestinal wall and helps babies and children develop a healthy brain and nervous system. Foods that contain cholesterol also provide many other important nutrients. Only oxidized cholesterol, found in most powdered milk and powdered eggs, contributes to heart disease. Powdered milk is added to 1% and 2% milk.

When Dr. Price analyzed the foods used by isolated indigenous peoples he found that they provided at least four times the calcium and other minerals, and at least TEN times the fat-soluble vitamins from animal foods such as butter, fish eggs, shellfish and organ meats.Saturated fats play many important roles in the body chemistry. They strengthen the immune system and are involved in inter-cellular communication, which means they protect us against cancer. They help the receptors on our cell membranes work properly, including receptors for insulin, thereby protecting us against diabetes. The lungs cannot function without saturated fats, which is why children given butter and full-fat milk suffer less often from asthma than children given reduced-fat milk and margarine. Saturated fats are also involved in kidney function and hormone production. Truth: A recent study found that women with the highest levels of estrogen in their blood had the lowest levels of cognitive function; in Japanese Americans, tofu consumption in midlife is associated with the occurrence of Alzheimer’s disease in later life.

The data to be presented will indicate that: (a) it plays an essential role in the maximum utilization of body-building minerals and tissue components; (b) its presence can be demonstrated readily in the butterfat of milk of mammals, the eggs of fishes and the organs and fats of animals; (c) it has been found in highest concentration in the milk of several species, varying with the nutrition of the animal, and (d) it is synthesized by the mammary glands and plays an important role in infant growth and also in reproduction. The only treatment given was a change in diet from skimmed milk and white bread to whole milk and a gruel made of freshly ground whole wheat. Over this gruel was poured about a desert spoonful of butter oil from a sample of butter that had been produced when the cows were eating rapidly growing green wheat. After his first meal, the boy slept his first night without a convulsion. He was fed five times the next day on the same diet, and had no convulsions. Recovery was very rapid.Some descendants of the ancient Chimus are still living in a few fishing villages in the north of Peru Samoans typical of excellent facial and dental arch formation when living on native foods.
