Dr. Page was one of the early pioneers in nutritional biochemistry.

He obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgerydegree University of Michigan.

He invented denturesbased on engineering principles.

During this time, he also became aware that it was necessary to remakethe

classic dentures for many of his patients within two and one-half years.

Their mandibles (jaw bones) would resorbunder the dentures and

bridges. This is a common problem that still exists today owing to

inadequate nutrition caused by over consumption of refinedcarbohydrates and white sugar.

In a quest to learn why the mouths of his patients deteriorated.

Dr. Page studied Dr. Weston Price's work with primitive people

and started his own investigations. He ran more than two

thousand blood chemistries and discovered that no

absorption of bone occurred (and no cavities) when thecalcium to a phosphorus ratio was in a proportion of 10 to 4 in

the blood. Thus, the basic research of Dr. Page uncovered the

knowledge that white sugar and refined carbohydrate's

increases serum calcium. Calciumis drawn from the bonetissueand is then carried in the serum calcium.

At the age of 84, Dr. Page still walked a

mile to and from his office almost daily.

His treatment and philosophy weresimple and logical.

perfect food foreveryone.


10/30


The Page Food Plan was developednot because Dr. Page was

trying to create a dietbut simply because he noticed certain

foods upset the body chemistry more than others.

His food plan was developed on the glycemic index encouraging

patients to eat unlimited quantities of green leafy vegetables.

Why does modern medicine find it so hard to look at, and

accept, many of these simple truths?

Who was Dr. Weston Price



12/30

Who was Dr. Weston PriceDr. Price has been called the Charles Darwin of Nutrition .

In attempting to find the causesof dental decay and physical degeneration of teeth, he took his knowledge

outside the lab and toured the world to study human beings.

In the early 1930s, he studied isolated groups, such as secluded villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in

the Outer Hebrides, Eskimos and Native Americans of North America, Melanesian and Polynesian South Sea

Islanders, African tribes, Australian Aborigines, New Zealand Maori and the Native Americans of South

America. In all cases, Dr. Price found that the characteristics of beautiful straight teeth, freedom from decay,

strong bodies and resistance to disease were typical of the indigenous populations who were accustomed to

traditional diets, which were rich in essential food factors.

After analyzingthe foods consumed by isolated primitive peoples, Dr. Price discovered that they provided at

least four times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals, and at least 10 times the fat-soluble

vitaminsfrom animal foods, such as butter, shellfish, fish eggs and organ meats.

Another part of Dr. Prices finding was that these primitive people living on their natural diet, not taintedfromwhat he called the foods of commerce (white sugar and white flour) had little or no signs of degenerative

diseaseor dental caries. His studies were the first to point out that these isolated groups with only 0.1%

dental caries consistently had blood chemistry readings of 10 parts calcium and four parts phosphorus.

Most Important Steps

First and most important step is to remove all pasta, bread and cereal and

by that I mean all flour products, absolutely all grains, including rice from

your diet.

The second step is to consume protein three (3) times per day; this

included lean meat, fish, fowl and eggs. Please as far as possible try to

ensure that the protein you consume is grass-fed and free range.

The third step is to increase your intake of green vegetables. Please as far

as possible insure that the vegetables you consume are organic.

Dont let the absence of grass-fed, free range or organic produce stop youfrom following the plan, consuming protein and vegetables that do not fall

into these categories are still far better than eating grain products.



14/30

General guidelines on eating

There is no limit on the serving size for lean-meat, fish, fowl, eggs or

vegetables. (but please let common sense prevail)

Foods eaten closest to their raw state have the best digestive enzyme

ability.

Take fluids longer than one hour before or further than two hours after ameal.

Limit fluid intake with meals to no more than half a cup.

Drink at least half a cup of water every half an hour.

Please adhere to the food combining guidelines but more about that later.
