Being in their right proportions, they will contribute all that our bodies require. Primitive peoples are more sensible than we are in this respect. They take their food just as it grows and prepare it very simply, thus preserving its nutritive value. Does that not give our ailing society cause to think on these things?
New drugs are being discovered every day, yet we do not see a decline in the overall incidence of disease. On the contrary, certain diseases are becoming more prevalent, especially those that are connected with the metabolism of the cells and the central nervous system. Among the most notable are cancer and multiple sclerosis. Yet those two diseases are practically unknown among the natives of various so-called ‘uncivilised’ areas of the world. It is noteworthy, then, that degenerative changes in the cells, as they occur in cancer and multiple sclerosis, are chiefly restricted to the people who live in ‘civilised societies’. Moreover, it is only in the industrial world that many infectious diseases are rampant, where refined food has weakened the people.
