Volume 1, Number 3, Fall 2000The Fluoride IssuePresident's Message Isn’t it ironic that as America enters the 21st century, and enjoys the benefits of the computer age, the quality of our food and water sinks lower and lower? Sometimes I wonder whether we should even publish the kinds of articles contained in this issue, with their depressing news on fluorides in our water and beverages; the horrors of vaccination damage; the dangers of prescription drugs; the adverse effects of fish farming; the perils of soy consumption; and the pervasiveness of neurotoxic MSG in the food supply. Yet this issue also contains some of the best news we have encountered in a long time. . . that the very factors Dr. Weston Price discovered to be responsible for the excellent health of primitive peoples also offer both protection against the poisons in our food supply and the hope of cure for our civilized diseases. These are the fat-soluble vitamins A and D found in old fashioned foods like fish, shellfish and cod liver oil, and butter, lard and organ meats from grass-fed animals. Krispin Sullivan’s trailblazing article on vitamin D (page 11) describes the complete vindication of Dr. Weston A. Price. The most recent discoveries reveal that we need about 4000 IU daily of vitamin D, or ten times the Recommended Daily Allowance. This is exactly what Price discovered in his studies--that the intake of vitamin D among primitive peoples was at least ten times that of the American diet of his day. Krispin describes how vitamin-D therapy, along with mineral supplementation, is being used to treat cancer, heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, hormonal problems and depression. At the same time, doctors have discovered the miracles of vitamin A from cod liver oil to restore autistic and learning disabled children to conditions approaching normalcy. The work of Dr. Mary Megson (see page 33) gives hope to parents of children damaged through vaccination and, quite possibly, from exposure to fluoride, MSG and soy as well. There are no problems that do not have solutions. Sometimes these solutions
are elusive; and very often they require a complete change in the way
we live and eat. But once embraced, the solutions seem neither difficult
nor radical. We receive many letters from individuals who found that
time spent searching for good food, and preparing it correctly, did
not make life more difficult but much easier. Devitalized food makes
us vulnerable to all the evils described in these pages. Nutrient-dense
foods, grown and prepared with wisdom and care, confer the protection
we need in this challenging computer age. FEATURES The Miracle of Vitamin
