W. A. Price, abridged

[Guest guest]

I just picked up Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A.

Price. I've skimmed it, but everytime I sit down to actually read

the book . . . my blood boils at the idea of the ENTIRE medical

profession ignoring nutrition and pretending to " make " me healthy.

My dentist gets to collect money even more regularly, and the

orthodontist is even now greedily rubbing his hands over the

prospect of my three offspring with narrow arches and malformed jaws.

So, until I can regain control over my emotions long enough to read

all 500+ pages, will you be kind enough to summarize Dr. Price's

conclusions?

1. How many generations does it take to RESTORE genetic health?

Assuming my children (and their spouses) eat right, will my

grandkids be incredibly healthy specimens? Or do I have to wait for

my great-grandchildren?

2. How will changing the diet effect my 15ds, 11dd, and 9dd with

regards to their dental health? Will their teeth gradually become

resistant to dental carries? Are they young enough their arches

might actually change over the next few years, or should we continue

with our current plan of orthodontic intervention?

3. Can the mental " injuries " be reversed by diet? Long story, but

what little I've read has certainly shed light on relatives with

violent outbursts of anger, mental instability . . . unpredictable

and irrational thought processes.

4. Is Dr. Price REALLY concluding that much of society's criminals

are merely nutritionally deficient? Does he truly ignore the

possibility of moral choices?

(((sigh))) The real test of my own emotional stability will be

taking my kids in to visit the doctor and resisting the urge to slap

him.
