It’s great that you’ve recovered your health and refreshing to hear that your doctor has embraced what you’ve done! Keep up the great work!

I appreciate your articles and look forward to future ones. Thanks for doing your part in educating the population. That’s what it’s going to take…re-educating the people on the facts not what one might want you to believe.

I agree that the lifestyles of the primitive cultures that Price studied were drastically different then ours, but I still think they provide valuable information.

It’s highly likely that these people were more active than us, less stressed, and despite not having the benefits of modern medicine, they were able to enjoy vibrant health. As you mentioned, they also had cleaner air and water. However, their health still deteriorated when they began consuming modern processed foods.

If processed food was enough to deteriorate the health of these primitive cultures despite their healthier habits and cleaner air and water, how could we expect to fare any better?

I would agree that Price’s work doesn’t necessarily prove that saturated fat is healthy, but unlike processed food, I think it provides great evidence of it not being harmful.

Even if you don’t see the value in Price’s work that I do, I’m glad you like the other points.

If anything we can predict from the research that “eating whole foods from ‘close to home’ is better than not, when taking into account a myriad of other immeasurable sociological factors”

Other than that, I like the other points!

Yes, living in a sterile environment is a great example! Especially with the recent craze over antimicrobial products for avoiding the swine flu. Good sanitation is one thing, but becoming obsessed about avoiding germs deprives the immune system of it’s natural ability to strengthen itself. As Louis Pasteur, the father of the germ theory and pasteurization, supposedly admitted on his death bed, it’s the terrain (health and resilience of the body) that matters more than the germ.

I also liked the part about losing the ability to live with nature. You don’t see it in many western history books or text books, but native american medicine was far ahead of European medicine. Native healers had the ability to diagnose and heal all sorts of diseases and conditions, famously including the easily-treated scurvy of the European settlers. There is a reason why native americans died en masse from European diseases: such childhood diseases were not a part of native american life because they were on the whole, much healthier as a society than Europeans. those diseases never had a firm hold in the Americas because the Indians lived a different life than the European contemporaries. Their collective immunity had no defence to such diseases because their lifestyle had long compensated to the point where such diseases were naturally eradicated.

We westerners have a lot to learn from the pre-Columbian Americans…
