NUTRITION and PHYSICAL DEGENERATION
Dr. WESTON PRICE
http://www.soilandhealth.org/02/0203cat/020305ppnf/fig3.jpg
It is a truth: "In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king."
Even more certainly--a one-eyed king is going to feel very alone. Different than everyone else.
Like what happened to me twenty years ago after Weston Price's book had opened both my eyes.
I discovered Nutrition and Physical Degeneration in when I began to
reconsider and then to reject the conventional and unexamined answers I'd been
given about health, and healing, and doctoring.
Like most people who are glad to accept their smoothly-running body without question
or concern, I only got curious about my health after I first noticed the onset
of middle-aged degeneration. I visited the medical doctor in town who was generally
regarded as the most progressive and least likely to prescribe drugs,
to ask why I was feeling "off" such a large proportion of days during the week.
His answer mainly it consisted of 'get used to it,' and 'it's middle age,
everyone goes through it,' and 'take two aspirin when it gets bad and don't worry about it.'
But I felt I was entitled to enjoy physical well-being and could not accept
an increasingly hopeless, ever-worsening prognosis. So I then asked the advice
of a very wise, and very old gardener in my neighborhood,
who lent me his treasured first-edition copy of Price's book and referred me to
a naturopath practicing nearby, Dr. Isabelle Moser.
Isabelle became my doctor, taught me how to repair much of the degeneration
that had already happened, and some years later, became my wife.
Life has never been the same since I read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
Price started me observing the bone structure and state of constitutional degeneration
of most of my neighbors. I found myself noticing peoples' teeth and jaws and faces
and how many of them had crooked, crowded, irregular teeth, narrow jawbones,
thin, pinched noses, and flat, nasal voices that derive from small, inadequately
developed sinus cavities.
Instead of admiring only the hefneresque charms of the young women, I began
to observe and catalog the size of their pelvic girdles, to note if their "ovens"
were adequate for the purpose of baking babies. Most were too small.
I stopped thinking thin, aristocratic faces were beautiful and began considering
that broad faces with flat noses were.
I put new significance on the small number of children younger married couples
were having, the difficulty their young parents had with the raising and management
of even one child, the uncooperative and unfocused behavior of these kids,
and how often the children around me were seeing the doctor, and how many
of them seemed to suffer from a ever-ongoing series of physical complaints.
And I contrasted this with how it had been for my parent's generation,
where three children per family was normal. Or with my Grandparent's generation,
where four or five kids per family was typical.
And my increased understanding has created a wide gulf between me and
most of my neighbors, who are lost in a confusion over why they and their loved ones
get sick and who depend on medicine and medical doctors for their cures
when they should be focused on their nutrition and life-styles.
