Skincare

Skin is composed of multiple layers, primarily keratinocytes, which produce keratin, a fibrous protein providing structure and protection. Cholesterol, a lipid, is a crucial component of the skin's barrier, aiding in moisture retention and protection against external factors.  

Raw meats and fats offer a rich source of essential amino acids, the building blocks of proteins like keratin, and various fats, including cholesterol, which are vital for skin health and lubrication. These nutrients, when obtained from raw sources, are more bioavailable and readily utilized by the body for skin repair and maintenance.

Skin health is a reflection of internal well-being, not the application of topical treatments. An animal based diet provides the essential nutrients for healthy skin. Acne and rashes are the body's attempt to eliminate toxins through the skin, a consequence of cellular dehydration. This can be resolved by thorough hydration with water and minerals.

Commercial cosmetics, filled with chemicals, can further compromise the skin's natural barrier. Prioritizing a nutrient-rich diet, hydration, and a minimalist skincare routine can lead to clearer, healthier skin.

Tanning - Sunbathing

Sunlight, a vital source of life-giving energy, offers numerous benefits for skin health. It stimulates the production of Vitamin D, essential for calcium absorption and bone health. Moreover, moderate sun exposure promotes a healthy, radiant glow by stimulating melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin color. Tanning, when done responsibly, can enhance a person's appearance and boost self-confidence.

Cleansing - Tallow soap

Tallow soap, a traditional soap made from rendered animal fat and lye, offers numerous benefits for skin health. It harmonizes with the skin's natural lipids, providing deep cleansing without stripping away essential oils. Tallow soap nourishes and moisturizes the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and radiant. By restoring the skin's natural protective barrier, it promotes optimal health and a youthful complexion.

Moisturising - Raw oils

Raw animal fats, such as raw butter, as well as raw coconut oil, are exceptional natural moisturisers. Rich in cholesterol and other beneficial lipids, these fats nourish and protect the skin. Cholesterol, a vital component of the skin's barrier, helps retain moisture and shield against environmental stressors. By incorporating these natural fats into your skincare routine, you can rejuvenate your skin, restoring its natural balance and vitality.

Sea Sponge

Cleansing with a natural sea sponge is an eco-friendly and gentle skincare method. These sustainably harvested sponges exfoliate without irritation and have natural antibacterial properties. Their porous structure holds ample water and soap, creating a rich lather. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly, they are ideal for those seeking a sustainable skincare routine that supports healthy, radiant skin.

Hair

Human hair is primarily composed of keratin, a fibrous protein rich in sulfur-containing amino acids such as cysteine. This complex protein structure forms the hair shaft, giving it strength and resilience. Additionally, hair contains lipids, including cholesterol, which contribute to its moisture balance and protection from environmental factors.

Raw meats and fats provide essential nutrients for hair health, including:

  • Amino acids: The building blocks of protein, crucial for keratin synthesis and hair growth.

  • Lipids: Fats like cholesterol, which contribute to hair's moisture balance and shine.

  • Minerals: Essential for various hair functions, such as iron for oxygen transport to hair follicles and zinc for hair growth and repair.

By consuming a diet rich in these nutrients, you can support healthy hair growth, strength, and overall appearance.

Shampoo - Egg Yolk

Egg yolk is a potent hair elixir rich with proteins, cholesterol, vitamins, and minerals that nourish and revitalise the hair. The proteins strengthen and repair the hair shaft, while the cholesterol lubricates and protects. Vitamins like biotin and B12 promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. Minerals iron and zinc support healthy hair follicles and stimulate blood flow to the scalp.

DIRECTIONS: Wet hair, apply and rub whipped raw egg to hair and scalp. Stand for 1-5 minutes then rinse.

Teeth

Teeth are primarily composed of dentin and enamel. Enamel, the hardest substance in the human body, is composed mainly of calcium phosphate.

Raw meats and milk provide essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus, crucial for strong tooth enamel. Additionally, the protein and other nutrients in animal foods support gum and jawbone health, indirectly contributing to overall oral health.

Traditional cultures, like the Inuit and various African tribes, who consumed diets rich in raw meats, fats, and raw milk, exhibited excellent dental health with complete freedom from tooth decay and dental caries. Therefore highlighting the importance of a nutrient-dense, whole-foods diet for optimal oral health.

When humans consume a diet of refined foods such as white flour and sugar, the body strips minerals from its own organs such as teeth and bones in order to absorb the foods. This results in tooth decay and oral disease.

Toothpaste - Sun dried Clay

A simple natural toothpaste can be made by combining sun-dried clay, raw coconut oil or butter, and a few drops of mint leaf oil. The clay gently cleanses teeth, while the oil moisturizes gums and imparts a pleasant flavor. Mint leaf oil freshens breath. This natural toothpaste, free from harsh chemicals, offers a gentle and effective way to maintain oral health.

INGREDIENTS: 1/4 teaspoon sun dried clay, 2 tablespoons raw butter, 2 drops mint leaf juice. (5 toothbrushing)

Whitening - Peroxide

For a natural approach to teeth whitening, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda can be used. This simple solution can help lighten surface stains and brighten your smile. However, for optimal results and a more dramatic whitening effect, professional-grade dental whitening treatments with carbamide peroxide trays are recommended. These treatments, administered under dental supervision, offer a safe and effective way to achieve a beautiful, long-lasting smile.

Nails

Nails are primarily composed of keratin, a fibrous protein. This protein structure, nourished by a diet rich in raw meats and fats, forms the hard, protective nail plate.

Raw meats and fats provide essential nutrients for nail health, including amino acids, lipids, and minerals like iron, zinc, and biotin. These nutrients support nail growth, strength, and overall appearance. Mineral deficiencies can manifest in various nail abnormalities, such as ridges, splitting, and discoloration.

To maintain healthy nails, it's essential to consume a nutrient-rich diet, keep nails clean and trimmed, and avoid harsh chemicals and excessive water exposure. Gentle nail massage can also improve blood circulation and promote nail growth.

Physique

The human form, a masterpiece of nature, is composed of intricate bone and muscle structures. Bones, the framework of our bodies, are primarily composed of calcium phosphate. Muscles, the engines of movement, are made of protein fibers.

A diet rich in raw meats, organs, and raw milk, particularly during formative years, is crucial for optimal bone and muscle development. These foods provide essential nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and various amino acids, which are vital for bone mineralization and muscle growth. Consuming a nutrient-dense diet during these critical years can significantly impact overall physique and potential height.

To refine and perfect the physique, a well-structured training regimen is essential. This involves targeted exercises to stimulate muscle growth, such as strength training for major muscle groups. Adequate rest and recovery are equally important, as muscle growth occurs during rest periods. A diet rich in protein provides the building blocks for muscle repair and growth.

The ideal male physique, characterized by broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and well-developed muscles, is often associated with strength, vitality, and fertility. The ideal female physique, characterized by curves, wider hips, and a more rounded figure, is associated with fertility and childbearing. By understanding the interplay of diet, exercise, and genetics, individuals can optimize their physique and achieve their full potential.

Craniofacial Development

Dr. Weston A. Price's seminal work in the early 20th century documented a strong association between traditional diets and optimal craniofacial development in indigenous populations [Price, W.A. (1939). Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. A Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects. These diets, rich in nutrient-dense foods such as organ meats, seafood, and raw dairy products, provided abundant vitamins (particularly A, D, and K), minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc), and essential fatty acids. These nutrients are crucial for proper bone mineralization, craniofacial growth, and the development of broad dental arches, robust maxillae and mandibles [1, 2].

Proper orofacial development is intricately linked to orofacial myofunctional patterns. Optimal tongue posture, with the tongue resting on the palate, exerts orofacial pressure that contributes to the proper development of the palatal vault and maxilla [3]. This "tongue thrust" facilitates nasal breathing, which is essential for proper craniofacial growth and development [4]. Conversely, mouth breathing can lead to restricted nasal airflow, altered craniofacial growth patterns, and the development of a narrow, constricted maxilla and a retrognathic mandible (a "receding chin") [5].

Maternal nutrition plays a pivotal role in fetal and infant craniofacial development. Adequate maternal intake of choline, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids is crucial for proper neural tube closure, brain development, and craniofacial skeletal growth [6, 7]. Breastfeeding provides a unique matrix of nutrients and bioactive factors that further support optimal craniofacial development [8].

Conclusion

In conclusion, dietary factors exert a profound influence on craniofacial development. Traditional diets rich in nutrient-dense foods, coupled with optimal orofacial myofunctional patterns, support the development of well-formed craniofacial structures. Conversely, the modern Western diet, characterized by processed foods, refined sugars, and seed oils, can contribute to suboptimal craniofacial development, including narrow faces, crowded teeth, and malocclusion.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) is a specialized treatment that addresses dysfunctional patterns of facial muscles, such as tongue thrusting or mouth breathing. It involves exercises to strengthen and coordinate these muscles, improve oral posture (like proper tongue placement), and break harmful habits. OMT can benefit speech, swallowing, breathing, and may even improve facial aesthetics.

Nose Surgery - Rhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty combines functional (septoplasty) and aesthetic (rhinoplasty) procedures. A deviated septum, where the nasal septum is displaced, obstructs airflow, leading to breathing problems (e.g., snoring, sleep apnea). Septorhinoplasty aims to straighten the septum, improve breathing, and enhance the nose's appearance

Chin Surgery - Genioplasty

Genioplasty reshapes the chin for both functional and aesthetic reasons. Functionally, it can improve bite, speech, and even alleviate sleep apnea. Aesthetically, it enhances facial balance and harmony by creating a more proportionate chin, leading to a more defined jawline.
