Who was Dr. Melvin Page


Dr. Page was one of the early pioneers in nutritional biochemistry. He obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree University of Michigan. He invented dentures based on engineering principles. During this time, he also became aware that it was necessary to remake the classic dentures for many of his patients within two and one-half years. Their mandibles (jaw bones) would resorb under the dentures and bridges. This is a common problem that still exists today owing to inadequate nutrition caused by over consumption of refined carbohydrates and white sugar.

Who was Dr. Melvin Page


In a quest to learn why the mouths of his patients deteriorated. Dr. Page studied Dr. Weston Price's work with primitive people and started his own investigations. He ran more than two thousand blood chemistries and discovered that no absorption of bone occurred (and no cavities) when the calcium to a phosphorus ratio was in a proportion of 10 to 4 in the blood. Thus, the basic research of Dr. Page uncovered the knowledge that white sugar and refined carbohydrate's increases serum calcium. Calcium is drawn from the bone tissue and is then carried in the serum calcium.

At the age of 84, Dr. Page still walked a mile to and from his office almost daily.

His treatment and philosophy were simple and logical.

1. The harmful effects of the use of white sugar and refined carbohydrates can't be ignored.

2. The harmful effects of using chemical additives and other food preservatives for the sake of shelf life upsets body chemistry.

3. Using whole food vitamins concentrates, Minerals and Digestive Enzymes to supplement daily food intake might be necessary.

4. That milk is not the perfect food for everyone.

The Page Food Plan was developed not because Dr. Page was trying to create a diet but simply because he noticed certain foods upset the body chemistry more than others. His food plan was developed on the glycemic index encouraging patients to eat unlimited quantities of green leafy vegetables.

Why does modern medicine find it so hard to look at, and accept, many of these simple truths?

Who was Dr. Weston Price


Dr. Price has been called the Charles Darwin of Nutrition . In attempting to find the causes of dental decay and physical degeneration of teeth, he took his knowledge outside the lab and toured the world to study human beings. In the early 1930s, he studied isolated groups, such as secluded villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in the Outer Hebrides, Eskimos and Native Americans of North America, Melanesian and Polynesian South Sea Islanders, African tribes, Australian Aborigines, New Zealand Maori and the Native Americans of South America. In all cases, Dr. Price found that the characteristics of beautiful straight teeth, freedom from decay, strong bodies and resistance to disease were typical of the indigenous populations who were accustomed to traditional diets, which were rich in essential food factors. After analyzing the foods consumed by isolated primitive peoples, Dr. Price discovered that they provided at least four times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals, and at least 10 times the fat-soluble vitamins from animal foods, such as butter, shellfish, fish eggs and organ meats.

Another part of Dr. Prices finding was that these primitive people living on their natural diet, not tainted from what he called the foods of commerce (white sugar and white flour) had little or no signs of degenerative disease or dental caries. His studies were the first to point out that these isolated groups with only 0.1% dental caries consistently had blood chemistry readings of 10 parts calcium and four parts phosphorus.

Most Important Steps


First and most important step is to remove all pasta, bread and cereal and by that I mean all flour products, absolutely all grains, including rice from your diet. The second step is to consume protein three (3) times per day; this included lean meat, fish, fowl and eggs. Please as far as possible try to ensure that the protein you consume is grass-fed and free range. The third step is to increase your intake of green vegetables. Please as far as possible insure that the vegetables you consume are organic. Dont let the absence of grass-fed, free range or organic produce stop you from following the plan, consuming protein and vegetables that do not fall into these categories are still far better than eating grain products.

General guidelines on eating


There is no limit on the serving size for lean-meat, fish, fowl, eggs or vegetables. (but please let common sense prevail) Foods eaten closest to their raw state have the best digestive enzyme ability. Take fluids longer than one hour before or further than two hours after a meal. Limit fluid intake with meals to no more than half a cup. Drink at least half a cup of water every half an hour. Please adhere to the food combining guidelines but more about that later.

Correct food combinations

Food combining is as important as eating the right foods.

www.drleonduplessis.com|2012

Correct food combinations


Never combine protein (C) and Vegetables with high-carbohydrate content or with low glycemic grains (A).

www.drleonduplessis.com|2012

Correct food combinations


Fruit (D) should always be eaten alone at least one hour before or after meals.

www.drleonduplessis.com|2012

Correct food combinations


All the vegetables and grain's columns A and B can be eaten together at the same meal.

www.drleonduplessis.com|2012

Correct food combinations


Protein (C) and the low-carbohydrate vegetables (B) can be eaten together at the same meal.

www.drleonduplessis.com|2012

Correct food combinations


A+B=GOOD B+C=GOOD

A+C=NOT SO GOOD D=EAT ALONE
