Healing Our Children

I've been immersed in the book, Healing our Children by Ramiel Nagel. It's chock full of wonderful information - nutrition, parenting, childbirth, all of the good stuff. You can download an excerpt from the book and gets lots of other great info here.


Dr. Weston A. Price started feeding a group of orphans one meal a day, to help prevent tooth decay. This is also the diet he suggested for pregnant women. There is a copy of the diet in the book...here it is.

About four ounces of tomato juice and a teaspoonful of a mixture of equal parts of a very high vitamin natural cod liver oil and an especially high vitamin butter was given at the beginning of the meal. Then they received a bowl containing approximately a pint of a very rich vegetable and meat stew, made largely from bone marrow and fine cuts of tender meat: the meat was usually broiled separately to retain its juice and then chopped very fine and added to the bone marrow meat soup which always contained finely chopped vegetables and plenty of very yellow carrots; for the next course they had cooked fruit, with very little sweetening, and rolls made from freshly ground whole wheat, which were spread with the high-vitamin butter. The wheat for the rolls was ground fresh everyday in a motor driven coffee mill. Each child was also given two glasses of fresh whole milk. The menu was varied from day to day by substituting for the meat stew, fish chowder or organs of animals.
