I think Silkman mentions the importance of eating animal-based fats (although I can’t find it skimming through the article). These provide vitamins A, D, E and sometimes K. However, the key nutrient, I think, is E. In Weston Price’s book (the work that this whole thing is based on), he mentions that there were rat studies at the time where they restricted Vitamin E from the diet, and it resulted specifically in the shortening of the snout (the rat’s maxilla) and a general thinning and elongating of the overall body structure. Also, these results were identical with studies where rats’ pituitary gland was surgically removed- precisely the area of the brain that Silkman says the maxilla deficiency affects. You can read that section of Weston Price’s book here: http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library/price/price19.html, as well as the rest of the book. Other symptoms of a Vitamin E defient mother, at least in rat studies, is a prolonged gestation and an inability to lactate.

Also in the link I posted above is the story of how Weston Price drastically improved the mentality of a 16 year old Down’s syndrome boy by widening his upper palate and opening his nasal airways. This should be very interesting to anyone interested in the impact cranial structure has on brain function.

As for developing children, including fats like butter, lard, and cod liver oil in the diet not only supplies the vitamins mentioned above but also reduces the cravings for sweets, which actually tax the body of its reserved vitamins and minerals and cause a deficiency. The body needs these vitamins and minerals to grow. In Dr. Price’s work, he saw the facial malformations detailed by Silkman in all native peoples whenever they had switched over to eating the white man’s imports of sugar and white flour. Fruit juices are pretty much pure sugar as well, sorry to say, so avoid giving kids those as well.

Vitamin E in particular can be found in the germ of freshly ground grains. The germ must be freshly ground; otherwise the vitamin E oxidizes, as it does in packages of wheat germ once they are opened. It’s not out of the realms of possibility to buy a hand crank grain grinder and make homemade bread or freshly gound oatmeal. (Also, grains need to be previously soaked and roasted.) If you buy a Vitamin E supplement, make sure it contains ALL the different forms of vitamin E, not just one. A good one is for sale at http://www.drrons.com.

I’m not a doctor so sorry if I’ve gotten any of this wrong. Be sure to see http://www.westonaprice.org for more information.

I’m a 34 year old man, and I’ve had an overcorwded upper jaw since as far back as I can remember. When I was 20 I had to 2nd upper premolars removed that had grown behind my other teeth. I also had to lower 1st Molars removed when I was a child.

As a result I have underdeveloped cheekbones, eye sockets and an asymetrical face. It wasn’t that noticable till I reached my 20’s. I think since then the muscles on my face have grown, and because the bone structure is not strong enough to support them, it has caused my cheeks to sag, and given me an aged appearance. The hollow cheeks look awfull. Even in my 20’s people said I looked about 40.

I’ve visited orthodontists who can only recomend crowns for widening my smile, it won’t have any effect anywhere else. I’ve been to see a cosmetic surgeon who has recomended Dermal Fillers in my cheeks.

I’ve just got myself a facial flex, a small plastic device that goes into your mouth with a band on it. It is designed to increase muscle strength in your face. Hopefully it will tighten and fatten the muscles in my cheek area to restore a more pleasant appearance. Has anyone used these before ? Would Raymon Silman (author of the above article) recomend it ?

It does seem to be working. I can feel the muscles in my cheeks are now firmer, but I am not seeing any changes when I look in the mirror, though I have only been using it for a week.

Thanks.

Its a wonderful article and I came through Google. Here I would like to share my experience with beauty which will definitely improve some one stage of weirdness. By birth (Dec 23, 1976) I had Bilateral Open Cleft problem(operated in April 1978) which was putting myself in half mode means whenever I was coming to the real world I was wondering inside the way world was looking me. Resulting I was sitting on home with protection for 9 years and could not learn the Life Lesson, Difficult Situation Handling, Compatibility Analysis (astrovastuconsultings.com) . As well as the secret development issues like harmony balancing, sexual development, unstained puberty (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puberty#Stress_and_social_factors [More extreme degrees of environmental stress, such as wartime refugee status with threat to physical survival, have been found to be associated with delay of maturation, an effect that may be compounded by dietary inadequacy.]), late learning and practicing masturbation. In the case of open cleft the important thing is TWO SURGERIES SHOULD BE DONE at the ages of 1-2 years and 9 years. My family(Mother62,FatherExp56;Nov1996,brother40,sister37,brother36,myself32) took the care of first one which was a bit late but second one could not done bcoz of the lack of understanding. Also I started my education from class 3 and I was always feeling myself in competition up to the age of 22 and some times at the point of suicide. When I observed closely myself I found me as a good teacher and loved Mathematics subject as life saver but in reverse my family asked me to be a professional in the corporate world and they put me in post graduation course of computer application. At this age of 22 I was looking very ugly and always wondering how to be a beautiful and wise person in the society; so for these two things I found Bollywood Hero Shahrukh Khan and Vivekanand as role model. To become beautiful like Shahrukh Khan I focused on the skeleton part of Shahrukh Khan and I started making my face as him in terms of pulling lower jaw back(and this became a problem as right side only gone back but left could not), facing the world events by looking through nose tip because of the Shahrukh was doing (and this was good one bcoz it removed fear and filled some joy in my heart). For the wisdom I put enough effort but I was not able to concentrate on the study bcoz of the lack of sexual development but I believed if I am doing study in early morning I can achieve the goals other are getting. But I could not get it bcoz of the mind focus was on the facial beauty. Family people told me as half mad and mean while I gone out from home for short term study and I found myself alone and at this moment I came across my life-saver “the BhagvatGita” (most renowned Hindu ritual book of God). This time I was also getting night-falls which was turning my thinking that it is a sexual disease and I met two psycho doctors and they told me that it is normal and nothing will happen(but they failed to tell me about masturbation practice). From here my life turned in negative and dull mode and I was worrying about my survival. After four years of implementation of BhagwatGita and alignment of my teeth given me an avoided personalty which was some what better than previous bcoz of my teeth but still I was looking at people and wondering how they are that much pretty. At the age of 26 I have asked to get a job; therefore I came across the corporate world with unmatured thinking, twisted upper jaw, funny voice (and people thought that sex did not worked for him where as the reality was reverse)and getting threaten in this world. At this moment I was thinking I am looking very ugly so who will give me a job and I struggled a lot for this. What I made conclusion is I should put my eyes as hard working persons eyes so may be I will get something and IT WORKED. I got job but still did not understand the sexual need of the body. Family members also got happy with doings. Mean while I also made two conclusion (i)that if I am more controlling my eyes it will make myself a bit beautiful bcoz the beautiful personalities look on others with a small sense not high sense(glaring) meaning you just observe the real world don’t see inside the eyes (ii)that if I am avoiding dinner(meaning after sunset no food) I am getting up in morning as fresh and little bit beautiful. To make myself strong and healthy I was drinking more water. It was a great period for me when I created some wealth, took the responsibility of my brother36’s family. I worked in extreme stress positions as begger/funny/handicapped where I was thinking who one is looking at me and pulling my jaw back and eye aversion but controlling myself from four things(money, sex, son and house as described in BhagvatGita). I was getting good paid by employer(once 200% hike). But turning point came when I shifted to a alone room and practice masturbation daily for one year which given me now a beauty. Looks like I was achieving my puberty and my teeth were getting growth, jaws getting set; as I was pulling it back but it is coming front. I apply the thoughts that if I am practicing the sex in revert manner(sleeping mode) it is making my jaw a bit forward. But this did not worked as I am pulling it back. Because I am not in support of anyone and it will be a question of survival. To come out from this problem I put myself in social environment by joining the sales business that removed the fear towards people but still I wanted to win people with beauty. So I did more sex practice and started talking in chewed mode(meaning talking with jaw moment only lips are moving) and THIS WORKED as I got some enhancement on nose, cheek bones, maxila and eyebrows. One day recently I decided to MAKE IT NOT PULLING BACK my lower jaw and do more and more masturbation practice and that became a harmony level issue. People thought a gone case but I was confident in me because the BEAUTY STARTED(being a real beautiful person in heart too and DO NOT WANT TO BE SHAHRUKH KHAN) . I got strength in my Cranial and I was feeling my self a lot confident and not a begger but as I stopped pulling my lower jaw I am SHOWING MY UNDERBITE problem to the world and the world is reacting like I am missing large amount of harmony( and there is a problem in my body/soul/mind). I am believing that it is the last problem inside me and for this I am going to the orthodontic treatment/maxilla facial surgery. But as I am talking and throwing out my feeling my eye aversion is going out and underbite also getting less and making me more beautiful(almost a normal looking). To fill the gap of harmony I am putting my self inside of the skull base commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Skull_base_anatomy.jpg ; so I am trying to do the real world things from the cranial(meaning looking, talking, listening from the cranial) and I am learning a new language too bcoz I believe that in childhood what I have missed that should be filled. As well as I have to learn Life Lesson, Difficult Situation Handling, Compatibility Analysis (astrovastuconsultings.com) to really concur the world with beauty. Still I am getting avoided by friends which I have to learn how to handle that.

Then there’s factors such as stress and illness during pregnancy. We have much more to combat than a diet high in refined flour, sugar and alcohol as was pretty much the Western diet in Dr. Prices day. We live in an increasingly toxic, fast paced 24/7 society where relaxing or having a proper nights sleep is almost seen as sheer indulgence. We have to combat and overcome issues of toxicity as well as poor nutrition. For example: excessive stress increases copper retention in the body which antagonises zinc - this means you may be getting enough zinc through your diet but your body can’t use it due to excessively high copper levels, so you exhibit all the symptoms of zinc deficiency.

Also, nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy such as zinc can impact upon health for several generations. The health of your child today may also be the result of what your grandmother ate (or didn’t eat) while pregnant with your mother.

We all do the best we can and that’s all we can do. Take heart in the fact that even if your child shows symptoms of inadquate nutrition despite your best efforts, you can still nourish them with the foods that we probably didn’t receive as children (and help them avoid the disgusting array of junk foods sold in our supermarkets aimed at children) so that your grandchildren and great grandchildren will benefit from your love and foresight.

Lots of love and nourishing thoughts, actions and food to all

My oldest daughter’s front teeth came in during that time and one has very weak enamel and she developed an overbite, fortunately she still doesn’t have any cavities. I must emphasize that her jaw alignment was perfect until that time. My son was born healthy and at home, however, he had an undescended testicle(it has since dropped down but is smaller than the other) and has a slight underbite. Otherwise, the children are all very healthy. I have immediately started the homeopathics she recommended in the article. My oldest daughters front teeth came in quite crooked but have since straightened out a lot. We will see if the jaw continues to correct. We eat lots of organ meats as I was taught not to waste anything. We make medicine out of many of the glands(adrenals, thymus, pancreas, spleen). Now I understand why they are so important. I grew up on liver and brains and kidneys and have always fed it to my kids. People have been aghast to learn I feed my kids raw buffalo liver, raw fish etc. We also always ate the roe/eggs whenever we could get them. My family were all herbalists so we also use a lot of wild plants, but now they are so hard to find without spray and poison all over them. No more gathering berries and grapes along the roadsides.

This all makes me so sad… why do they poison us? Why this death wish? Why do they destroy everything good? My mother is Cherokee and that is my heritage and so much of what my granmothers said is brought to mind.

Good luck to all..
