Far from being just a book which introduces another “fad,” NUTRITION– THE CASE OF MISPLACED EMPHASIS encompasses a wide variety of topics including the following:
- The ABC Diet, a discussion of the do’s and don’ts of good nutrition– the antinutrient substances such as caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, fluorides and drugs; the role that fresh fruits, raw vegetables, vitamins and minerals should play in a good nutritional program.
- The importance of maintaining a healthy endocrine gland system in preventing and treating various diseases.
- The use of such nutritive substances such as Whidden’s Royal Jelly in Honey, pantothenic acid and Vitamin C in bringing on remission of disease symptoms.
- The three degrees of nutritional effort needed to modify various disease states.
- The role that the doctor and the pharmacist should play in bringing on the “new age” of patient care.
- Suggested regimens of nutritional treatment which, for the first time, offer the use of vitamins, minerals and other substances in addition to accepted medical treatments for many illnesses, including arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides, ulcers, mental disorders and many other acute and chronic diseases.
Forward to the book
The book’s foreword was written by a Minnesota physician who stated, “This book explains to the reader how to treat various illnesses nutritionally.” “The next step needed is for all of us to apply pressure on medical centers, physicians and government to begin documenting these interesting nutritional theories. Even without documentation, I know that most people having the illnesses that he discusses would be well served by following his ABC Diet and his 2nd or 3rd degrees of nutritional endeavor.”
