Pasture Fed Cattle Superior To Modern Day Confinement Cattle For Mineral ActivatorsNutrition and Dental Clinics I Dr. Price’s experience with isolated primitive peoples gave him a platform to work with patients in his clinical practice in the US. Though the primitive peoples did not know one vitamin from another they did know what foods they needed for optimum health. Dr. Price wished to test the ‘wisdom of the primitives’ in his clinical practice in a special nutrition and dental care program conducted in the public schools. The students showed the same illnesses as primitive people that abandoned their local diets in favor of the white man’s foods of commerce. Many of the participants in the clinics were normally under the care of other dentists, and showed signs of extensive dental restorations. To develop a nutrition protocol for each patient that would arrest dental decay, Dr. Price used chemical analysis of saliva, nutrition used by the patient, data provided by x-rays, and case history. The chemical analyses included phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and iron. High Vitamin Butter Oil Dr. Price previously discovered a high vitamin butter, which is actually an oil at room temperature. This oil is produced only by cows eating rapidly growing green pasture. He found wheat and rye grasses to be the best sources for cattle. High vitamin butter oil is produced by centrifuging butter at about 70F, resulting in an oil which has high amounts of fat soluble activators. These fat soluble activators are part of necessary nutrition to utilize minerals. A Nebraska farmer with an engineering background is now producing this high vitamin butter oil. A small amount of a mixture of butter oil and high vitamin cod liver oil with each meal, that has fairly good supplies of vitamins and minerals, can arrest active tooth decay. Combination of butter oil and high vitamin cod liver oil is more efficient than either oil alone. Nutrient Content of Butter Butter produced by pasture fed cattle has several times the fat soluble activators produced by confinement cattle. Confinement cattle, where most of our dairy products come from, do not produce any Activator X, and much less vitamins than pasture fed cattle. Dr. Price discovered that Activator X is similar to vitamin A, and is part of the high vitamin butter oil. It should be emphasized that animal fats, provided by butter, and raw whole milk (if available), be included to carry the fat soluble vitamins. Vegetable oils, such as margarines, should be excluded because of the particular dangers they provide in a diet. These precautions are necessary because of the diet insisted on by the food processing industry and the federal government. These organizations are calling for a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol to reduce the risk heart disease. Saturated fat and cholesterol have never been proven to cause heart disease. Low saturated fat and cholesterol can result in other serious problems. Is Health Important? To apply the wisdom of the primitives, a character factor is important. Indians of the high Andes mountains were willing to go hundreds of miles to obtain kelp and fish eggs and other materials needed for their health. Melanesians went on the war path to protect their access to sea food. Our “modern” people, Dr. Price said in the 1930’s, are unwilling to take the trouble to obtain foods that provide necessary nutrition factors. Middle men didn’t want Dr. Price telling people about the vitamin content of butter, just wanted people to buy on the basis of the label. Foods Deficient in Nutrients Many foods are deficient in vitamins and minerals, particularly phosphorus. A food source of minerals is recommended, since according to Dr. Price, humans cannot absorb minerals satisfactorily from inorganic chemicals. It is important not only to cut down or eliminate sugars and white flour products, but also to ensure that adequate mineral and vitamin carrying foods be made available. The mineral content of plants is a reflection of the soils mineral content. Far too much soil has been ‘worn out’, depleted of mimerals, because practices have not been in place to replenish the soil.
