Natural foods are foods grown under natural conditions in man’s natural environment, consumed in their natural state. It would be unnatural for an Eskimo to live on a raw vegetarian diet, just as it is unnatural for inhabitants of tropical or subtropical regions to eat meat.

Dr. Weston A. Price made an extensive study of health and diet habits of practically every race of people in the world and came to the conclusion that the condition of their health is in direct relation to the «naturalness» of the foods they eat.1 Wherever he found strong, healthy people without diseases and without tooth decay, he learned that their diets were made up of natural, fresh, pure, and unprocessed foods, available in their immediate environment. Conversely, where he found people subject to dental decay and various diseases common to civilized man, he invariably discovered that they ate denatured, cooked, processed foods and that white sugar, white bread, canned foods, etc. had found their way to them from more «civilized» countries.

In the United States, we have departed so far from the natural way of life that for many it is difficult to comprehend what is meant by natural foods.

Let’s clarify this with an example. Eggs laid by hens which have access to the outdoors, green grass, seeds, insects, and worms are natural, fertile eggs full of nutritive value. But eggs produced in an egg factory, by hens who never see a rooster, nor sunlight, and eat only synthetic mash, are not natural. Not only is the chemical composition of such an egg altered and unbalanced, but also its nutritional value is far below that of a natural egg.

Natural fruits and vegetables should grow in healthy, fertile soils, without chemical fertilizers or sprays. Equally, animal food

—milk, cheese, or meat-should come from healthy animals which are fed organically grown fodder and are not artificially raised with the help of hormones, antibiotics, and poisonous chemicals.

Natural foods contain more vitamins, more proteins, more minerals and other nutrients, particularly the vital enzymes, than denatured foods.

The human body is a living organism, a part of the complex organic universe subject to the unchangeable laws of nature. The human body must have living, organic food elements in their unaltered natural state in order to survive and five in good health. Synthetic, altered, poisoned, processed, and devitalized foods will not sustain health, but will bring about a degeneration of normal bodily functions and disease.

Bursitis and tendinitis-The common denominator in these two ailments is the presence of calcium deposits. Both of these ailments produce very painful chronic inflammatory processes. In bursitis the inflammation occurs in the cellular membrane covering certain bony areas like the shoulders or the knees. Calcium deposits are frequently found at the sites. The inflammation associated with tendinitis is often the direct result of calcium deposits among the tendon fibres.

The pain associated with either ailment is often so severe that it restricts movement of any afflicted joints. Although CMO cannot remove the calcium deposits themselves, it often successfully controls the painful inflammatory process which then allows full use of the joint again.
