Вестон Прайс (Weston A. Price,1870-1948) — американский
стоматолог. Занимался исследованием здоровья зубов у
географически изолированных коренных народов.
В течение десяти лет этот самоотверженный ученый путешествовал
по всему миру (в то время путешествовать было не очень легко),
живя в самых удаленных уголках земли и изучая диету и здоровье
зубов местного населения. Оказалось, что здоровые и ровные зубы
— результат определенного рациона питания, а не врожденных
генетических факторов.
«Питание и физическая дегенерация» — книга, которая меняет
взгляд прочитавших ее людей на окружающий мир.
Невозможно смотреть на привлекательные изображения так
называемых «туземцев», видеть их широкоскулые лица с
правильными и благородными чертами и не понимать, что в
развитии современных детей наблюдаются серьезные
проблемы.
В ходе своих путешествий Вестон Прайс посещал оторванные от
внешнего мира деревни Швейцарии и открытые всем ветрам острова
у шотландского побережья. Объектами его изучения стали живущие
в традиционных для себя условиях эскимосы, индейские племена
Канады и южной части Флориды, жители южно-тихоокеанского
региона, австралийские аборигены, новозеландские маори,
перуанские и амазонские индейцы, а также представители коренных
африканских племен.
Эти люди отличались «прекрасным физическим развитием» и
практически полным отсутствием болезней даже в тех случаях,
когда им приходилось жить в крайне тяжелых условиях.
More than sixty years ago, a
Cleveland dentist named Weston A. Price decided to embark on a
series of unique investigations that would engage his attention
and energies for the next ten years. Possessed of an inquiring
mind and a spiritual nature, Price was disturbed by what he
found when he looked into the mouths of his patients. Rarely
did an examination of an adult client reveal anything but
rampant decay, often accompanied by serious problems elsewhere
in the body such as arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes,
intestinal complaints and chronic fatigue. (They called it
neurasthenia in Price’s day.) But it was the dentition of
younger patients that gave him most cause for concern. He
observed that crowded, crooked teeth were becoming more and
more common, along with what Price called facial
deformities–overbites, narrowed faces, underdevelopment of the
nose, lack of well-defined cheekbones and pinched nostrils.
Such children invariably suffered from one or more complaints
that sound all too familiar to mothers of the 1990s: frequent
infections, allergies, anemia, asthma, poor vision, lack of
coordination, fatigue and behavioral problems. Price did not
believe that such physical degeneration was God’s plan for
mankind. He was rather inclined to believe that the creator
intended physical perfection for all human beings, and that
children should grow up free of ailments.
Price’s bewilderment gave way to a
unique idea. He would travel to various isolated parts of the
earth where the inhabitants had no contact with civilization to
study their health and physical development. His investigations
took him to isolated Swiss villages and a windswept island off
the coast of Scotland. He studied traditional Eskimos, Indian
tribes in Canada and the Florida Everglades, Southsea
islanders, Aborigines in Australia, Maoris in New Zealand,
Peruvian and Amazonian Indians and tribesmen in Africa. These
investigations occurred at a time when there still existed
remote pockets of humanity untouched by modern inventions; but
when one modern invention, the camera, allowed Price to make a
permanent record of the people he studied. The photographs
Price took, the descriptions of what he found and his startling
conclusions are preserved in a book considered a masterpiece by
many nutrition researchers who followed in Price’s footsteps:
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Yet this compendium of
ancestral wisdom is all but unknown to today’s medical
community and modern parents.
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
is the kind of book that changes the way people view the world.
No one can look at the handsome photographs of so-called
primitive people–faces that are broad, well-formed and
noble–without realizing that there is something very wrong with
the development of modern children. In every isolated region he
visited, Price found tribes or villages where virtually every
individual exhibited genuine physical perfection. In such
groups, tooth decay was rare and dental crowding and
occlusions–the kind of problems that keep American
orthodontists in yachts and vacation homes–non existent. Price
took photograph after photograph of beautiful smiles, and noted
that the natives were invariably cheerful and optimistic. Such
people were characterized by splendid physical development and
an almost complete absence of disease, even those living in
physical environments that were extremely harsh.
The fact that primitives often
exhibited a high degree of physical perfection and beautiful
straight white teeth was not unknown to other investigators of
the era. The accepted explanation was that these people were
racially pure and that unfortunate changes in facial structure
were due to race mixing. Price found this theory unacceptable.
Very often the groups he studied lived close to racially
similar groups that had come in contact with traders or
missionaries, and had abandoned their traditional diet for
foodstuffs available in the newly established stores–sugar,
refined grains, canned foods, pasteurized milk and devitalized
fats and oils–what Price called the displacing foods of modern
commerce. In these peoples, he found rampant tooth decay,
infectious illness and degenerative conditions. Children born
to parents who had adopted the so-called civilized diet had
crowded and crooked teeth, narrowed faces, deformities of bone
structure and reduced immunity to disease. Price concluded that
race had nothing to do with these changes. He noted that
physical degeneration occurred in children of native parents
who had adopted the white man’s diet; while mixed race children
whose parents had consumed traditional foods were born with
wide handsome faces and straight teeth.
The diets of the healthy primitives Price studied were all very
different: In the Swiss village where Price began his
investigations, the inhabitants lived on rich dairy
products–unpasteurized milk, butter, cream and cheese–dense rye
bread, meat occasionally, bone broth soups and the few
vegetables they could cultivate during the short summer months.
The children never brushed their teeth–in fact their teeth were
covered in green slime–but Price found that only about one
percent of the teeth had any decay at all. The children went
barefoot in frigid streams during weather that forced Dr. Price
and his wife to wear heavy wool coats; nevertheless childhood
illnesses were virtually nonexistent and there had never been a
single case of TB in the village. Hearty Gallic fishermen
living off the coast of Scotland consumed no dairy products.
Fish formed the mainstay of the diet, along with oats made into
porridge and oatcakes. Fishheads stuffed with oats and chopped
fish liver was a traditional dish, and one considered very
important for children. The Eskimo diet, composed largely of
fish, fish roe and marine animals, including seal oil and
blubber, allowed Eskimo mothers to produce one sturdy baby
after another without suffering any health problems or tooth
decay. Well-muscled hunter-gatherers in Canada, the Everglades,
the Amazon, Australia and Africa consumed game animals,
particularly the parts that civilized folk tend to avoid–organ
meats, glands, blood, marrow and particularly the adrenal
glands–and a variety of grains, tubers, vegetables and fruits
that were available. African cattle-keeping tribes like the
Masai consumed no plant foods at all–just meat, blood and milk.
Southsea islanders and the Maori of New Zealand ate seafood of
every sort–fish, shark, octopus, shellfish, sea worms–along
with pork meat and fat, and a variety of plant foods including
coconut, manioc and fruit. Whenever these isolated peoples
could obtain sea foods they did so–even Indian tribes living
high in the Andes. These groups put a high value on fish roe
which was available in dried form in the most remote Andean
villages. Insects were another common food, in all regions
except the Arctic. The foods that allow people of every race
and every climate to be healthy are whole natural foods–meat
with its fat, organ meats, whole milk products, fish, insects,
whole grains, tubers, vegetables and fruit–not newfangled
concoctions made with white sugar, refined flour and rancid and
chemically altered vegetable oils.
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.
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.
Price describes the fat soluble vitamins as catalysts or
activators upon which the assimilation of all the other
nutrients depended–protein, minerals and vitamins. In other
words, without the dietary factors found in animal fats, all
the other nutrients largely go to waste.
In Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Price discusses another
fat soluble vitamin that was a more powerful catalyst for
nutrient absorption than vitamins A and D. He called it
Activator X. All the healthy groups Price studied had the X
Factor in their diets. It could be found in certain special
foods which these people considered sacred–cod liver oil, fish
eggs, organ meats and the deep yellow Spring and Fall butter
from cows eating rapidly growing green grass. When the snows
melted and the cows could go up to the rich pastures above
their village, the Swiss placed a bowl of such butter on the
church altar and lit a wick in it. The Masai set fire to yellow
fields so that new grass could grow for their cows.
Hunter-gatherers always ate the organ meats of the game they
killed–often raw. Liver was held to be sacred by many African
tribes. The Eskimos and many Indian tribes put a very high
value on fish eggs. Activator X is now believed to be the
fat-soluble vitamin K2; read Chris Masterjohn’s article to see
how this 60-year mystery was finally solved.
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration has as much relevance today
as it did 60 years ago. The book includes Price’s unforgettable
photographs showing the superb dentition and facial development
of peoples living on nutrient-dense foods. All who plan to bear
children and everyone in the practice of medicine should read
this book.
