The Great Poisoning

6/16/2025

0 Comments

 
I recently had the pleasure of listening to an interview with Catherine Austin Fitts (solari.com). During the discussion, she used the phrase, “The Great Poisoning,” as she spoke about the globalist agenda that is impacting our lives in ways we scarcely could have imagined just a few years ago. I haven’t heard a better way of stating what humanity is facing today.
 
We are being poisoned as never before on all fronts—toxic chemicals are intentionally and unnecessarily added to our water, land, food, medicines, lotions, and so-called health products, even poisons falling from our skies, along with radiation poisoning from microwaves and wireless 5G. On top of all that, unreasonable health measures and financial hardships create significant stress and strain our well-being. It’s not an overstatement to say that we live in a toxic soup.
How Can We Possibly Protect Ourselves and Our Families from THE GREAT POISONING?

Now, more than ever, as we experience The Great Poisoning, we need the ancestral wisdom offered by the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF).
 
As a WAPF Chapter Leader on Vancouver Island, it’s my pleasure to tell you a little bit about the man behind the educational organization named in his honour.
 
Many of us in real food circles who support and advocate for local farmers have come across Dr. Price's seminal book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, first published in 1939. Dr. Price’s closing words in the book speak absolute volumes: “Life in all its fullness is Mother Nature obeyed.”
 
However, beyond these circles, most Canadians are unfamiliar with Dr. Price. Let’s get to know him a little. (1)

  • Weston Andrew Valleau Price, the ninth child in a family of 12, grew up on a farm in Newburg, Ontario, Canada. This backwoods Canadian family produced an inventor, a medical doctor, two dentists, a Methodist minister, and a resourceful farmer son. (2)   
  • Price’s nephew, Willard DeMille Price (son of Albert, his inventor brother), was a famous writer, explorer and traveler whose reports were often featured in the National Geographic magazine.   
  • Price became interested in diet as a prime factor in dental decay after he was stricken with typhoid fever in 1893. At the time, he was practicing dentistry in Grand Forks, North Dakota. His older brother Albert nursed him back to health, but during his illness, Weston’s teeth had decayed significantly. He went back to the family farm to convalesce, where not only did his health improve, but his dental deterioration was arrested. The following spring, he and his uncle, William Delmage, camped for an extended period in the backcountry of Canada, living on salmon, small game, and berries. Delmage was a man of great intuitive wisdom who understood the role of natural food sources in restoring and sustaining the body. The backwoods diet worked wonders for Weston Price.  
  • Weston shared an interest in electricity with his brother Albert. He taught “applied electricity and electro-therapeutics” at Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) from 1897 to 1904. After he left the faculty in 1904, his subject matter was dropped from the curriculum. (3)   
  • In 1899, Weston Price and his wife, Florence, built the Bon Echo Inn on the shores of Mazinaw Lake in southeastern Ontario. The remote site presented an incredible challenge, and building the 28-room inn was “a feat which never could have been accomplished without the indomitable persistence of Dr. Price and his sublime indifference to the almost incredible difficulties that beset him at every turn,” according to Merrill Denison, a later owner of the Inn. Dr. Price and his wife operated the Inn during the summers until they sold it in 1910. The site later became Bon Echo Provincial Park. (4)  
  • After selling the Inn, Price established a dental practice in Cleveland, Ohio. At the height of his career, the practice included several dentists on the first floor and a laboratory on the second floor where Mr. Howdy, a chemist of German origin, performed analyses for fat-soluble activators in hundreds of samples of butter and other foods sent to Dr. Price from all over the world. 
  • Dr. Price and his wife lost their only son, Donald, due to complications from an infected root canal that Price himself had put in. Price went on to write a 1,000-page tome on the issues surrounding systemic dental infections related to root canals.   
  • Dr. Price was a devout Methodist who taught Sunday school at his neighborhood church. However, later in life, he expressed dismay over the fact that Christian missionaries were often the vector for introducing modernized foods to native populations. (5)
After observing a substantial increase in dental caries, malformed jaw and facial features, and noting that these conditions were often accompanied by weakened resistance to disease and declining health in his patients, Dr. Price took an astonishing step. He closed his practice and, for over ten years in the 1920s and '30s, travelled the world to conduct research and find out what could be causing the degeneration he witnessed. Dr. Price conducted studies of 14 isolated groups of people in remote areas, spanning from the Swiss Alps to the Polynesian Islands, as well as from Alaska and Canada to Scotland and Africa. His research showed that in just one generation after switching from traditional foods to westernized, denatured foods, devastating health consequences followed. (6)
 
This is how WAPF, founded in 1999, describes the seminal work that Dr. Price accomplished as a nutrition pioneer in the early 1900s:
“Dr. Price's studies of isolated non-industrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price’s research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats. Dr. Price is credited with discovering the “X” Factor, or Vitamin K2 as it is known today.”
I can't begin to express my gratitude for the fact that Dr. Price worked so diligently to record his research and the wisdom he garnered from our healthy ancestors. I am especially grateful that this information has been made freely available worldwide through the 25-year-old non-profit Weston A. Price Foundation.
 
There isn’t an organization that surpasses WAPF as the source for accurate information on nutrition and health, by:
  • Always aiming to provide the scientific validation of traditional foodways, including the importance of nourishing, nutrient-dense farm foods, safe and nutritious raw milk, and nurturing therapies that never harm   
  • Advising how diet affects fertility, healthy babies, and children who can reach their full potential in growth, development and radiant health   
  • Advocating for the support of local farmers and ranchers   
  • Widely sharing the scientifically validated fact that contagion has never been proven   
A current WAPF initiative is to provide a strategy for livestock producers to consider that may protect them, their animals, and their livelihoods from bird flu inspections. More about that is available here: www.sookewapf.org/blog/attention-livestock-producers
 
Catherine Austin Fitts knows the value of WAPF. She has been a guest on the WAPF Wise Traditions Podcasts (7) and she’s a regular speaker at WAPF’s annual Wise Traditions Conferences (www.wisetraditions.org).
 
Sally Fallon Morell, WAPF’s founding President, and Tom Cowan, MD, WAPF’s founding Vice-President, co-authored the best-selling book, The Truth About Contagion. Both Sally and Tom have published numerous other best-selling books aimed at helping us achieve vibrant health at every stage of life, including for future generations.
 
Thankfully, WAPF gives us the information and suggestions that can help families and protect our food supply.

On a personal note, I’m very happy to say that the wisdom shared by Dr. Price and WAPF about Wise Traditions foodways, toxin-free food production, and health protection has made a profound and positive difference in my family.
