Price, Weston. A – Nutrition & Physical Degeneration New York: Paul B. Hoeber, Inc., 1939.

In the 1930s Dr. Price travelled to isolated regions finding people who, because of their proper nutrition, enjoyed general good health, long life and virtual immunity to dental disease. Price travelled to remote parts of Scotland and Switzerland, Canada, Alaska, Peru, Africa, Down Under, etc., and found similarly healthy (and isolated) peoples who did not partake of the industrial food system. Contains remarkable photographs that show the comparison between what healthy bodies and physically degenerated bodies look like far better than words ever could.

DeVries, Arnold – The Elixer of Life Chicago: Chandler Book Company, 1952, 1958.

Thanks to Gary Krasner of the Coalition for Informed Choice for the lend of this book. Downloads as a PDF of 440 kb. OUT OF PRINT.

DeVries, Arnold. Primitive Man and His Food. Chicago, 1952, probably self-published.

Tracks down all the threads, re-asks all the questions, re-examines all existing literature (as of 1952) about why some places and peoples had superior health. An excellent job! Arnold DeVries was an American researcher, writer and hygienist, who in the 1950’s changed from being a fruitarian, as he had advocated in his first book, Fountain of Youth, 1946, to having a different understanding of optimum human nutrition, as expressed in (Primitive Man and His Food, 1952, Elixir of Life, 1952). These later books are along the lines of Weston Price’s ideas. Downloads as a single PDF of about 350 kb. OUT OF PRINT
