PRIMITIVE PEOPLE'S HEALTH

THE SECRET? -- NATURAL FOODS!

Yes the diets of these primitive peoples showed wide variety - but they all had an important nutirional factor in common. They ate the foods which were natural to their particular environment. 

None of them ate any refined white sugar, they never ate anything made in the factory, which is perverted with all kinds of chemical additives and artificial processing.

They did not eat packaged foods, ice cream, candy- no hotdogs, smoked meats or delicatessen foods. They did not use tobacco in any form. They drank no alcohol, coffee , tea, chocolate or cola drinks.

All the food of these primitive peoples was organically grown , in nature's way. It was free from artificial commercial fertilizers, from poisonous sprays and pesticides. They ate no canned or frozen foods. Except for the raw milk drinkers, very few of those studied used dairy products. They were free from mucus and their cholesterol count was low.

Ancient man  wad healtheir than we are. Ancient man was a much healthier animal than modern man according to Dr.Robert D. McCracken, University of California, antropologist. Although people often think that 20th century man lives longer than 17th or 18th man, Mc Cracken points out that longevity figures are a statistical anomaly. Wha we have done by our conquest of infectious diseases, better housing, modern sanitation, rapid and widespread distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables the year round, and other hygenic factors is to save the lives of infants and young people . This has increased the number of old people--and therefore extended the life span averages. 

McCracken said that the first coronary attack was not medically described until early in this century. A famous Boston cardiologist , Dr. Paul Dudley White , once said that he never heard of a coronary while he was in a medical school. 

Modern man's devitalized diet is responsible for his pervasive ill health, according to McCracken, who stated that man " is basically a meat and fruit eating animal. " He said that the refined while sugar is to a large extent to blame for some forms of diabetes , heart disease, stroke, schizophrenia, alcoholism and even possibly some kind of cancer.

Natural sugars are healthful 

Refined white sugar was not used among the healthy primitive peoples whose eating habits were researched by bothD. Price and Dr. Paul Bragg. They used no synthetic manufactured sugars such as sucaryl or saccharin. In fact , they did not even use raw or brown sugar. Some of them used honey in moderation. But the great majority got their sugar from their general natural diet of organically grown frutis and vegetables. That is why these people had such excellent teeth and were free from the dreaded gum disease pyorreah, as well as from other degenative diseases of civilization.
