The Nutrition Solution: A Guide to Your Metabolic Type
Harold J. Kristal, D.D.S. & James Haig

An overly acid mouth is another culprit in dental disease. Dr. Kristal, who recently retired from a half-century of dental practice, increasingly incorporated nutrition and the study of acid-alkaline balance into his practice. His studies led him to this explanation of why one diet isn’t right for everyone.

Dr. Elson Haas

Dr. Haas, of the Preventive Medical Center in San Rafael, California, advocates a seasonal selection of food as a more natural diet.


The Yeast Syndrome - A Medical Breakthrough
William G. Crook, M.D.

The Southern Appalachian region is blessed with more plant species than nearly anyplace else in the world. Our moist climate also promotes the growth of mold, and many area residents suffer from an accompanying buildup of yeast in the body. Here is a frequently used handbook for dealing with this problem.


The Interactive Healthy Eating Index

If you’re trying to keep track of your nutrition, this site will calculate your intake of calories, protein, fat, carbs, and a list of key nutrients. It’s USDA-sponsored, which means it promotes one type of diet, but you can easily apply your own judgment.


The Weston A. Price Foundation

The late Weston Price was a dentist whose questions about mal-formed mouths and dental disease led him to study the nutrition of native peoples who enjoyed excellent dental health. His conclusions bear similarities to those of Dr. Atkins. Price is also known for challenging the practice of root canals in dentistry, but this web site doesn’t discuss that in detail.
