“primitives” were sick, it was due to either their adopting of a modern “civilized” diet and/or as a result of famine or food shortage. In the healthy groups he found no heart disease, cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis or all the other diseases that were beginning to be seen more and more in America.
He found that the Eskimos ate a diet of almost 100% fat and fermented meat. The Maori of New Zealand ate all sorts of seafood, fruits, vegetables and lots of coconuts. The Masai of Africa did not eat plants at all but instead ate beef, milk and organ meats. Some other tribes ate different amounts of meats, fermented grains, fish, fruit and vegetables. The Bantu tribe ate mostly vegetables, fruits and grains and very little meat. The Swiss and isolated mountain villages mostly ate raw milk, cheese, butter, rye bread and oc- casional bone broth, pickles and meat. Almost all people he studied had diets rich in animal fats, eggs, fermented foods, cheese, butter, yogurt and for some, even insects. Seafood was especially prized. He noted that whenever these healthy groups of people were influenced by the outside “civilized world” and adopted their processed foods into their diet, their health deteriorated. And being a dentist, he observed in all adopt- ing the “diet of commerce” as he called it, a ten- dency toward narrowed facial structure, crowded and crooked teeth, thin facial bones and overall loss of strength.

He served high fat animal products like raw cream, butter, eggs and liver to his patients. He was also a researcher and experi- mented with the effects of administered adrenal cortex extract to cats that underwent removal of the adrenal glands. Unfortunately, most of the cats died from
the operation. He then began investigating how to increase the cat’s pre-operative health so that he could continue with his experiments. He was perplexed as to why his cats were dying, as he was feeding them raw milk, cod liver oil and cooked meat scraps which included liver, tripe, heart and muscle, all considered appropriate nutrition for his cats. He also noted that cats on his diet began to get sick and develop diminished reproductive capacity along with skeletal defor- mities in their offspring. As his experiments grew he needed more food for the cats and he began obtaining meat scraps from a local meat packing plant, only this time the meat scraps were fed raw.
