Dr. Weston-Price & The Weston-Price Foundation
Dr. Price’s research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health, generation after generation, only when they eat nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
Dr. Weston Price was a nutritional pioneer and genius. His study of isolated non-industrial traditional peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of the human diet.
The Weston Price Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism. It supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture-feeding of livestock, community-supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk and a ban on the use of soy formula for infants.
The Foundation seeks to establish a laboratory to test nutrient content of foods, particularly butter produced under various conditions; to conduct research into the “X Factor,” discovered by Dr. Price; and to determine the effects of traditional preparation methods on nutrient content and availability in whole foods.
The board and membership of the Weston A. Price Foundation stand united in the belief that modern technology should be harnessed as a servant to the wise and nurturing traditions of our ancestors rather than used as a force destructive to the environment and human health; and that science and knowledge can validate those traditions.
