Health Education 101: Must Read To Proceed

Here are a few titles for this post that obviously didn't make it but helps give a clearer perspective for those that find themselves reading it, "Since You've Taken the Red Pill..." or "Should-a, Could-a, Would-a..." or my personal favorite, "There Is A Logical Answer For That Malady And The Cure Is Based in Food... ."

It is common knowledge that there can be extremes in fields of thought and the nutrition field definitely has its pendulum swing. Hopefully,  I can help manage this aspect of the nutrition world by stating the following tips as you read the references I suggest; common sense, moderation and learning to 'listen' to your body should be your 'filters'.

Books For The Library ( in my house, the bookshelf)

I have a hard time putting these in any particular order because they are all rich with information. I will begin with the one that was the first to open my eyes to a problem I was wondering about and dealing with concerning my daughter.

Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by: Dr. Weston A. Price

My daughter was dealing with an under bite and her top jaw was growing slower than her lower jaw. I had an over bite and needed braces when I was an adolescent and I knew my husband had braces but I was wondering why my daughter had a more severe problem and at an early age. A dear friend told me to read this book for the answers to why modern man has dental cavities and malocclusion's. I had some nutritional background from my family and knew certain aspects of what to do, what not to do but this book was the kicker for my personal journey in really understanding how important food is for health.

This book not only directed the spotlight on the answers to my questions about my daughter's dilemma but flooded me with answers to so many other questions concerning health. I was like a sponge. I was constantly in awe at the simple yet profound work of Dr. Weston A. Price. I kept saying to myself, 'No wonder there are reproductive problems, genetic abnormalities, behavioral disruptions... It all has to do with our FOOD System.'

The traditional wisdom taught in this book when implemented can save a family financial woes as well as set-up generational wealth in the form of health. I only wish I had this book before I decided to have children. It is available for free by the project Gutenberg press. Click HERE to read it. Take your time and let it sink in and really look at those pictures, it will bring the point home.

When your done reading the research of Dr. Weston A. Price and want to start implementing your new found food paradigm, Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon and Mary Enig is the recipe book for you.

If you can't get enough information and want to delve in to highly scrutinized research the next step is to read as many articles on the Weston A. Price Foundations website as you can. (It can take a while, I'm still reading) One of my all time favorite articles is, On the Trail of the Elusive X-Factor: A Sixty-Year-Old Mystery Finally Solved, written by Chris Masterjohn. This article will satisfy the Science Geek in you; it has the tests, chemical reaction charts along with the whys and the how's.


Oh my, this post is getting long... I will have to extend Health Education 101: Must Read To Proceed for another post... These MUST READ books and articles can keep one busy for a lifetime. I'll let it sink in for awhile before proceeding with the next MUST READ selection.
