Price Foundation Since these children were all from poor homes, many of the families being on relief, one extra good meal a day at midday was provided for the entire group at the mission. This was preceded by administration to each child of one teaspoonful of a mixture containing a high vitamin butter oil obtained by centrifuging the butter at 70 degrees from a twenty-four hour crystallization of the melted butter. This butter was selected on the basis of its high content of activator X. It was mixed with equal parts of a high-vitamin, natural cod-liver oil. The clinical effect was apparent complete control of dental caries for the entire group, as shown in the films. In x-ray of these cases, many the open cavities were left without fillings; and, in all such cases, the exposed dentin took on a hard glassy finish. There were many other evidences of betterment. 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. The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Fig. 137 – Case of girl who had forty-two cavities in twenty-four teeth. With the diet reinforced with activator X, the pulp chambers built in secondary dentin and all the teeth were saved. Full dentures had been recommended.

Even wikis list references. You should apologise to the people here for asking us to assume the truth of a stranger, no matter how plausibly put it may be. At his return,..able’s offer accepted, Cain, well not. Why?…well remember…frame of mind, what was in each one’s heart ? Contrary to the accepted view, which is not scientifically based, saturated fats do not clog arteries or cause heart disease. In fact, the preferred food for the heart is saturated fat; and saturated fats lower a substance called Lp(a), which is a very accurate marker for proneness to heart disease. Again, omega-3 (linolenic family) must first be converted in the body to DHA & EPA for cell use. This conversion is problematic for most people. 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.)

Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based formula. Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least five birth control pills per day. Truth: Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) recently withdrew its application to the FDA for GRAS status for soy isoflavones following an outpouring of protest from the scientific community. The FDA never approved GRAS status for soy protein isolate because of concern regarding the presence of toxins and carcinogens in processed soy.

Truth: The International Atherosclerosis Project found that vegetarians had just as much atherosclerosis as meat eaters ( Laboratory Investigations 1968 18:498). An excellent illustration of the rescue of a large number of apparently doomed teeth in the same mouth is shown in Figure 137. The patient, a girl aged 14, had lost all four of the first permanent molars and the diagnosis made by her local dentist indicated the necessity of removing all of the erupted teeth and the construction of two artificial dentures. Studies indicated that she had forty-two open cavities in twenty-four teeth in addition to fillings. The patient was placed on a reinforced diet including approximately one-half teaspoonful of a mixture of a high vitamin A and high-activator X butter oil mixed with equal parts of a very high vitamin natural cod-liver oil taken in capsules three times a day. She was on this regimen for about seven months, with the result that there was very little evidence of extension of the caries, notwithstanding that no fillings were placed, with the exception of two or three temporary ones. The condition of these teeth before the dietary change is shown in the two upper rows of Figure 137.

Avoid root canals. If you have root canals and suspect that they are causing disease, have them removed by a knowledgeable dentist. Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30 percent to 80 percent of calories but only about 4 percent of calories come from polyunsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, legumes, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Avoid artificial food additives, especially MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and aspartame, which are neurotoxins. Most soups, sauce and broth mixes and most commercial condiments contain MSG, even if not indicated on the label. Membership in The Weston A. Price Foundation® is your opportunity to receive our informative quarterly magazine Wise Traditions in Food, Farming and the Healing Arts and support our projects and objectives, including: 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.

Price took samples of native foods home with him to Cleveland and studied them in his laboratory. He found that these diets contained at least four times the minerals as the American diet of his day. Price would undoubtedly find a greater discrepancy in the 1990s due to continual depletion of our soils through industrial farming practices. What’s more, among traditional populations, grains and tubers were prepared in ways that increased vitamin content and made minerals more available–soaking, fermenting, sprouting and sour leavening. I am appalled at the remarkably inept comments made against W/Price. My research shows that following the increase in production of sugar in particular but also cigarettes and alcohol, in the 19th Century, there followed a rise in type 2 diabetes. These are not just flukes – they are real health costs. By 1900 the rate of cardiac mortality put it and it remains so, top USA killer. The board and membership of the Weston A. Price Foundation stand united in the belief that modern technology should be harnessed as a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our ancestors rather than used as a force that is destructive to the environment and human health; and that science and knowledge can validate those traditions.

Whatever causes coronary heart disease, it is not primarily a high intake of saturated fat.” – Michael Gurr, PhD, Renowned Lipid Chemist, Author of authoritative study on CHD Most canola oil is GMO & industrially ruined, but there are good canola oils out there & they are a very good source of omega-3. But you only need very small amounts & even less on high saturated fat where the EFAs are highly conserved. Besides, omega-3 must be converted to DHA & EPA to be used in cells. Better to get the DHA & EPA directly in Green Pasture brand Blue Ice Royal Cod liver oil with high vitamin butter oil – the best. (The partly synthetic Swanson brand Double Strength (sw1641) cod liver oil is acceptable but only in conjunction with high saturated fat diet) & with good butter. It was when Price analyzed the fat soluble vitamins that he got a real surprise. The diets of healthy native groups contained at least ten times more vitamin A and vitamin D than the American diet of his day! These vitamins are found only in animal fats–butter, lard, egg yolks, fish oils and foods with fat-rich cellular membranes like liver and other organ meats, fish eggs and shell fish. Truth: Numerous animal studies show that soy foods cause infertility in animals. Soy consumption lowers testosterone levels in men. Tofu was consumed by Buddhist monks to reduce libido.

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). Criminals. Were their unsocial traits related to incomplete brain organization associated with prenatal injury 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.” The 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.
