Description

Written by Melvin E. Page, DDS and H. Leon Abrams, Jr. in 1976, this is a clear presentation of the variables affecting health. Written for the layperson and healthcare professional on anthropology and primary prevention. It offers a program of diet and lifestyle that returns to the genetically determined patterns of our distant, robustly healthy ancestors. Almost all of the information provided is still applicable and practical in modern civilization.  Dental decay is the most widespread of the degenerative diseases because it takes only about 25% inefficiency of body chemistry for it to be present. Good health can be attained and maintained through balanced body chemistry as nutrition is the controlling factor.
