Nutrition and Physical Degeneration

[Phileo]

Good day, dear bodybuilding community.

As a new member, I would like to share knowledge in areas that might be interesting to others, so their not making the same mistakes and / or bad experiences as I do. I apologize very much for this text and my bad English skills. I have full understanding if someone does not want to read this long message.

I think that this topic might be interesting for a few people, since physical beauty is for many a sign of health.

[Story]
It began with the fact that during my childhood and youth I was mainly fed on cereal and sugary foods. I have not paid attention to myself. The consequences / deformations were rapid, such as crooked teeth & nose, caries, teeth pulling, overbite, an asymmetrical, narrow and long face shape and amalgam fillings. It was anything but attractive or beautiful, but at that time it did not bother me.

Some years later, women became interesting and I realized that with this look, it was very hard to get to know the other sex. So I decided to take better care of myself. This included a fixed brace, surgeries, several visits to the orthodontist and various doctors, dietary changes, sports activities, change of clothes style, avoiding pornographic material, drug consumption and much more.

In the adult age I was told by my orthodontist that my narrow jaw and overbite must be corrected surgically. There is no other possibility, since the bones are solid. In the hospital I got a device to the palate (rapid maxillary expansion appliance). This had to be turned every day so that the jaw could be broadened bit by bit. After about a year I had to go to the hospital again to correct my overbite.

Very often, I hear from other people that genetics plays an important role. Whether it is hair loss, crooked teeth, an unattractive face or other "diseases". I am not a doctor, but because of my own experiences, friends, relatives and acquaintances, I believe that we can influence our genetics with the right diet and physical exercise either positively, or negatively.

I came to this realization when I discovered the works of a man named Weston Andrew Valleau Price.
When I understood everything correctly, he was a dentist and nutritionist who was looking for factors that required good health and was lacking in the modern world - he found them mainly in food.

Especially in the food of different peoples living in solitude from modern civilization, he found that these had little to no decay / caries and also no degeneration of the body. He also noted that a "deformed body" can be created by a mainly sugary and cereal diet (especially in growth).

People who, on the other hand, have fed a healthy diet from birth, rarely had to deal with the problems mentioned above. A healthy and balanced diet has been defined as: animal intestines, healthy fats (coconut oil, red palm oil, ghee), raw milk (cheese), bone broth, cod liver oil, algae (spirulina, chlorella), various fish and much more.
In addition, this should be avoided:

- fluoridated water & toothpaste
- artificial sweeteners
- Dental filling consisting of amalgam
- Caffeine
- Phytic acid
- Gluten
- Oxalates
- Lectins
- genetically modified food
- Soy
- refined sugar
- wheat and grains

If I am allowed, I would like to share some links with you, which have helped me personally. Of course only if someone of you is interested in it.

Also, I can recommend Ramiel Nagel.
He has published an eBook on how to cure or reverse tooth decay. Inspired by Weston A. Price, in my opinion at least.
His website is: curetoothdecay.com/

With this contribution I would like to inquire whether you see it as much as I do, or have a completely different opinion on the subject. I would be very happy about helpful, interesting and informative answers.

To the end of this message I would like to mention the following: I do *not* see myself as knowledgeable, intelligent, skilled or clever - quite the opposite. I am neither a doctor, nor have I studied at a university for several years. Please take everything I write with a grain of salt, as this is based on pure experience on my part.

I wish you, your family and friends all the best, much health and happiness. God bless.

Namasté.

OP ate 'bad things' growing up, had dental issues, read some crap by a dude named Weston Andrew Valleau Price who shuns things like grains, soy, etc, etc in the typical fad style, and now OP wants to so generously share his beautiful insights so we can all 'influence our genetics' and live forever.

Instead of eating things most people consider healthy (you know, based on research), OP's opinion is that we should focus on eating more "animal intestines, healthy fats (coconut oil, red palm oil, ghee), raw milk (cheese), bone broth, cod liver oil, algae (spirulina, chlorella), various fish and much more."

OP finishes his post by admitting he's not smart. Yes, I am being serious: "I would like to mention the following: I do *not* see myself as knowledgeable, intelligent, skilled or clever - quite the opposite"

OP, we value the scientific method here. You will not find a shred of clinical evidence to support the majority of the claims made above by your 'guru'.

In cases where there is a mechanistic explanation (phytic acid for example), there is not empirical evidence to show it has any measurable effect

OP, i intake almost all the things you listed should be avoided and i look better, am more athletic, and slay more sloots than you ever will.

With this contribution, I would like to mention that I am only a relatively young person, who is not omniscient and makes mistakes. Also I can be misinformed. When I started this thread and wrote my first post, it was not my goal to leave an impression of me, which indicates that I found the truth about the optimal diet for us humans and everyone who says something different is wrong. If I had aroused such an impression, I apologize.

Personally, the knowledge of men like Weston A. Price, Dr. Axe, Dr. Mike Mew and Ramiel Nagel has helped in my life. For other people, this information may be false and foolish.

The meaning of this thread is for me to inform others about this topic so they do not make the same mistakes as I do. It's really good that we do not all share the same opinion. Many are aware that there is a lot of misinformation on the Internet. For this reason, everyone should do their own research before believing anything.

My conclusion: There are studies, doctors and articles that speak for, or against fluorides, genetically modified food, amalgam fillings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, vaccines, antinutrients (phytic acid, gluten, tannins, oxalates, lectins, saponins, trypsin inhibitors, isoflavones, solanine, chaconine), soy, wheat and much more. Everyone should decide for themselves who they believe. I do not want anyone to forgo certain foods. For example, if someone likes to eat a lot of wheat flour or refined sugar, feel good and have no problems, everything is okay. Everyone should live the way he or she wants it.
