The difference between the modern Swiss and the isolated Swiss who were highly immune to cavities is not an enigma. Dr _ Protocol for Preventing and Remineralising Cavities Price repeated his observations across the world. He found one of Dr Weston Price took food samples from all the indigenous the most extreme examples in the Australian Aborigines. groups he studied.

His protocol was Aborigines, who for thousands of years maintained near-perfect physical forms, have lost their ideal beauty and health with the foods of the "white man": "It is most remarkable and should be one of the most challenging facts that can come to our modern civilisation that such primitive races as the Aborigines of Australia have reproduced for generation after generation through many centuries—no one knows for how many thousands of years—without the development of a conspicuous number of irregularities of the dental arches. highly successful. Using nutrition, he helped 17 individuals with severe tooth decay reduce the rate of decay by 250 times. In this group, approximately half of all teeth had been affected by decay prior to the nutritional program. After completion of the program, only two new cavities formed within a three-year time period, which is a recurrence rate of 0.4 per cent."” Unfortunately, Dr Price never clearly spelled out his protocol for halting tooth decay, yet, given the keys within his book, the research of Melvin Page, DDS, remain ignorant of the fact that their dietary and lifestyle habits are causing their teeth to decay.
