A Gem From The Past – 1936 Film Clip With Dr. Weston Price
February 18th, 2010
The name of this site, Nutrition and Physical Regeneration, is a takeoff from the title of Dr. Weston Price's book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Dr. Price, in my opinion, was the greatest nutritional field clinician of the last century. Anyone who writes in the area of health and nutrition and has yet to read this book might as well be considered a blind man trying to tell what you the sun looks like because he happens to have his head pointed toward the sky.
Anyone who is interested in their own health and doesn't avail themselves of this resource is severely hampering their progress, needlessly subjecting themselves to the whims and fancies of every modern who comes along and thinks they have discovered the nutritional way.
In the clip below Dr. Price describes himself as a missionary from the tribes he studied to the modern people of the world, bringing with him the accumulated wisdom of the various places his travels led him. Featured in the clip are the Swiss of the Loetschental Valley, the Inuit, several African tribes, the South Sea Islanders, the Maori of the Outer Hebrides (Scotland) and the Australian Aborigines.
Notice that the diets of all these groups varied greatly: from high carb to low carb; from high fat to low fat; from seafood and grains; to dairy, beef, and fish. Price's message was never about specific foods or macro-nutrients or paleo versus neolithic, or any other current categorical controversy. It was about getting rid of the displacing foods of modern commerce and returning to the life-giving foods of our ancestors. In short, real food, in all its macro-nutrient variety, as the means to restore our health.
Now for the first time many of you can see and hear Dr. Price in his own voice.
Enjoy!
[update: It goes without saying for those of you familiar with Dr. Price's work, but for those who are not Dr. Price never found a healthy vegan population or a thriving genuinely vegetarian population. The ratio varied, as noted above, but all the healthy groups he studied included seafood and/or meat in their diet. No exceptions.]
