As I have said previously, I find this subject interesting and thanks to Karen for all the info she has published.
I am finding myself more and more allergic to bread, to gluten and probably to yeast as well. My children and grandchildren seem to have varying degrees of the same allergies which is understandable. The symtoms i have after eating bread (gluten) include headaches, tiredness, diahharia, brain fog, farting and excessive appettite at times. I bought a book yesterday by a New Zealand doctor who has successfully treated many many patients. Many of his patients are young children and young adults. All of my symtoms plus others are mentioned by this doctor as evidence of gluten intolerance. I intended to quote from this book on this thread, but I showed a friend the book today and she snapped it up to go read as most of the symtoms talked about she and her partner are also experiencing. This doctor says that gluten will cause a down grading of the brain and nervous system. I certainly experience a foggy brain when Ive eaten bread. Isnt it interesting that the food pyramid touted now by the health experts now is based on bread and cereals. If I wanted to dumb down a population what better way to do it than to push a product that is cheap (bread buns etc) that is added to most of processed foods (gluten, msg) and affects the brain and nervous systems of a huge percentage of the population! Im sorry to have no references for this Drs long study into this gluten intolerance. When I manage to wrestle the book off my friend I will post the info!!! Cheers Carmen |

Far more people have allergies to wheat than have any idea that is what their problem is. My niece's new husband has a history of not feeling well, napping a lot and finally got a diagnosis in this little podunk town - of celiac - from one of the new doctors. TPTB fight hard to keep the good fats away from us. That whole cholesterol hoopla is the biggest hoax of the century. A cholesterol moderately over 200 is protective for people in old age, esp. women. Lo-fat is fast death. And vegetable oils are new-fangled products that help destroy our health with high levels of Omega-6. Wild fish are important for the DHA which is a must have for proper eye and nervous system development, yet almost all the fatty fish now are contaminated with too much mercury. So sardines, herring and small fish are the best bet there or a properly processed and purified fish oil. Cod liver oil is a good bet for the winter in the Northern climes where you have more breast cancer because of low levels of Vitamin D. And that China study - well it's not good science. I'll have to look up the particulars on that. I won't waste my time reading that book. I was reading in the online Dr. Price book that in some cultures it is a disgrace to have children closer than 3 years apart. The men are to abstain from their wives and give them a chance to regain their strength and nutrient status so that the next child will not be miscarried, stillbirth or deformed. The rest are quoted excerpts from: http://journeytoforever.org/farm_lib...e/price17.html "I have found similar examples in several of the modernized primitive racial stocks. The severity of the disturbing factors may be different under different circumstances. Drought, industrial depression, unemployment, and the like, all have their influence. In Fig. 110 will be seen three Maori children of New Zealand; the second child is smaller in stature than the third and gives more evidence of facial injury. While his older sister and younger brother have normal feet, his quite severe disturbance in facial growth is associated with club feet." ![]() "Deformities of the feet associated with facial deformity have been found in several modernized groups of primitive racial stocks. A typical case among the modernized Indians of Peru is shown in Fig. 111. The face of this boy shows abnormal development with narrowing of the upper arch and displacement of the teeth. This is associated with gross deformity of one foot and shortening of the leg. He lives in the high country. This phase is strikingly illustrated in Fig. 112 where the face is very badly injured and both feet are seriously clubbed. This boy is a Coastal Indian." ![]() FIG. 111. This boy is a modernized Indian in the high Sierra of Peru. Note the disturbed development of the face associated with the deformity of one foot. ![]() FIG. 112. This is a modernized coastal Indian of Ecuador. Note the serious facial and dental arch distortion associated with club feet. The serious expressions of physical deformities which we found had occurred in several primitive racial stocks,after they have become modernized sufficiently to be using the foods of our modern civilization, are occurring in our modern American families with equal severity and great frequency. [A study by] Dr. D. P. Murphy, of the University of Pennsylvania. [see link for specifics]. In concluding one of his reports he states: Miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature births occurred more often than would be expected by chance in the pregnancies immediately preceding and immediately following the pregnancy which resulted in the birth of a defective child, and less often than would be expected by chance in the remaining pregnancies. Miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth occurred most often in the pregnancy immediately preceding that of the defective child. From the above observations, it is concluded that the birth of a congenitally malformed child may be only one expression of a prolonged decrease in functional reproductive activity, the other expressions being miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature births. It is suggested that the obstetrician has unusual reason to suspect the possible existence of a congenital malformation in the pregnancy which follows immediately after a miscarriage, a stillbirth, or a premature birth. |

So the moral of that story above, for modern folks - if you are having trouble conceiving, or having a live birth - please wait 2-3 years to try again. Both the husband and the wife should partake of the best nutrition and the good Vitamin A and D rich fats that cannot be found in the plant world.

A quick question about those photos: How do we know that they're actual science and not just quackery? They seem kind of racist in nature. Where are the deformed white people?

So he embarked on an adventure to study the world's healthiest peoples. The ones still eating their traditional diets (as explained previously) were healthy and vibrant, with physical, mental and moral perfection. They were in isolated locations - there was only a hiking trail into the Swiss mountain village. But modern foods were encroaching, and their health was going in the dumps like all the Americans were. Price took a new-fangled invention with him and he and his wife took pictures, meticulous documentation and produced this research. Last edited by Karen; 05-28-2009 at 09:01 AM. |

As posted previously: To read the rest of this great article with pictures taken by Dr. Price http://westonaprice.org/tour/vegtourindex.html and click article 3 in the sidebar. Here's a link to that online book, published in 1939. http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...7&postcount=46 |

Do you want beautiful happy children with broad faces and a full set of lovely straight teeth? Dr. Price discovered the answer in the 1930s. And until recently his work has been largely ignored!
The eggs in the woman and the sperm in the man must have adequate nutrition to develop properly and then the mother must have the needed minerals, fat-soluble vitamins and activators provided for her and her child during pregnancy and lactation. Eat real and fresh foods instead of processed and devitalized junk. Shop primarily in the perimeter of the grocery store where most things do not have a label with a list of unpronounceable ingredients. http://journeytoforever.org/farm_lib...e/price17.html ![]() FIG. 98. These four Melanesian boys born on different islands look like brothers but are not blood relations. They illustrate the role of heredity in reproducing racial type. Heredity, however, can only operate normally when the germ cells have not been injured. ![]() 99. These four Polynesian girls live on different islands and are not related though they look like sisters. They record their racial type by undisturbed heredity.

This rings a bell with me. I have read that grains and seeds are hard to digest because of the protective coating mother nature provides them with, and that soaking or sprouting before using them in food helps. I've started ordering sprouted grain flour on the internet and baking my own bread with it.
