metabolic reminders

[Guest guest]

Hi,

" It was Dr. Price's Groundbreaking book " Nutrition and Physical Degeneration "

that allowed for the continuation of research into the field of nutrition to

take place.

Dr. Price studied the health and diets of indigenous and non-indigenous

civilizations all over the world for a period of nearly ten years. It was in

these studies that established the standard of optimal health, as well as the

basis for understanding the causative factors of disease and illness.

Dr. Price had discovered many modernized cultures who had adopted the poor

dietary habits of Europeans. Bone decay, tooth decay, malnourishment and disease

were all prevalent among these people. Price had discovered that in cases of

isolated, non-industrialized cultures, those people who remained on their

traditional diets were virtually free of any disease or maladies, even in old

age. Many of the cited cultures were using all of the available food resources

to their greatest ability. Many modern diseases were completely unknown to these

indigenous cultures involved in the Price study.

The Price study is still heralded today as an extraordinary testament to the

power of nutrition on human health.

The Discoveries Of Human Metabolism in the 20th and 21st Centuries

The school of Metabolic Typing owes its gratitude to many people. Most notably

are: Dr. , , PhD., Rudolf Wiley, PhD., Dr.

Kelley and Wolcott.

Dr. was among the first doctors to posit the term " biochemical

individuality " . Dr. discovered that individuality pervaded every part

of the human body. He observed and noted the inherent differences on a gross and

a microscopic level between people. He asserted that: " Inherent differences

extend to the structure and metabolism of every cell, and determine the speed

and efficiency with which cells perform their essential functions. " " Unbalanced

or inadequate nutrition at the cellular level is a major cause of human

disease. "

Few professionals at the time acknowledged this material. His discoveries were

later noted.

discovered during the 1950's that different people metabolize

different nutrients for different reasons. discovered through objective,

clinical observations that there are 3 different and distinct types of cellular

metabolism. He referred to the term " oxidation rate " in order to define each of

these metabolisms.

His work studied the differences in a person's cellular energy production. He

found that in the Kreb's Cycle (the cellular process of energy production) some

people were overly reliant on carbohydrates for energy production. He termed

these people " fast oxidizers " . Others were slow to oxidize carbohydrates. He

termed these people " slow oxidizers " . In order for health to be possible, fast

oxidizers require higher amounts of fat and purine containing proteins, while

slow oxidizers require higher concentrations of carbohydrates and much lower

amounts of protein and fat. The nutritional requirements for the slow and fast

oxidizers is strikingly opposite! The inability to meet the body's specific

nutritional demands for energy production became recognized as a major cause of

human illness. 's contribution to human health, while little recognized

even to this day, is monumental. Over the course of several decades had

developed an entire system of nutrition based upon oxidative metabolism. He

authored the groundbreaking book, " Nutrition and Your Mind " in 1972, which

discusses the findings of his research.

's work with the Venous Plasma Blood pH was succeeded by Dr. Rudolf Wiley

throughout the 1970's and 80's.

Dr. D. Kelley had accidentally stumbled upon biochemical individuality

as he battled pancreatic cancer. As a dentist he was familiar with the work of

Weston A. Price and had developed a curiosity with tooth, and bone deterioration

as they related to nutrition. His mother, Velma Kelley, a Kansas farm native,

had a strong belief in native intelligence and basic dietary principles. She

insisted that her son take on a pure diet of vegetables and whole grains and to

give up the junk food addiction that he had developed. As he cured himself over

the course of two years he began to study more in-depth. Kelley's major

revelation occurred with the subsequent healing of his wife from environmental

illness. Her recovery occured with the opposite diet plan that had worked for

him, animal foods that were rich with fats and proteins.

This marked a turning point in his work. Dr. Kelley went on to discover the key

roles that the autonomic nervous system plays in human metabolism. Unlike

, Dr. Kelley used the patterns of the autonomic nervous system to diagnose

and treat patients. Kelley's school of metabolic typing became known as the

" autonomic school " .

Wolcott was a direct student of Dr. Kelley. While working as Dr.

Kelley's assistant, Wolcott noted how much success was possible under the

autonomic school of metabolic typing. Wolcott himself healed from chronic

allergies that had persisted for decades.

He noticed though that a small but significant number of patients were not

responding at all to the autonomic approach. In fact their health deteriorated

further. Wolcott was puzzled. He began to investigate the studies of Dr.

from two decades earlier.

He came to understand that both the oxidative school and the autonomic school

were correct. He discovered that a person will either be an " oxidative dominant "

or an " autonomic dominant " . This has become known as " the Dominance Factor " .

Wolcott's work became the culmination of his book, " The Metabolic Typing Diet. "

Wolcott propelled the many developed schools of metabolic typing into new

arenas. Since its inception, metabolic typing has evolved into a clinical form

of nutrition that maintains integrity, excellent effectiveness in practice and

offers the greatest potential for individualized healing. "

Hi ,

did you write this, or are these excerpts from reviews?

Very interesting pointers, though it would be nice to have more

information on the autonomic principle.

Best,

Boris
