The subject which occupied most of Dr. Price’s
research time was the multiple roles calcium
plays in the functions of the body. These
Studies virtually forced themselves upon him
as medical and dental literature contained
little information about calcium and its
important functions.
A list of calcium functions follows:
- Every cell is dependent on the presence of Ionic calcium.
- It is used in teeth and bones and the movement of muscles.
- It is required for the rhythmic action of the heart and the intestines.
- It is essential for the clotting of blood.
- It plays a role in infections, pregnancy, and in the maintenance of the acid-alkaline balance.
- Its presence or absence is a factor in the formation of tooth decay, phorrhea, and the degenerative disease.
The great contributions made by Melvin Page,D.D.S.,
which have advanced some of the Price findings were
discussed; for instance, how routine calcium and
phosphorous blood test readings can be used to
balance body chemistry. In as much as this is not
Price research, I suggest readings go over the
chapter again to learn the significance of Dr.Page’s
contributions to our knowledge of calcium metabolism.
Dr. Price showed beginning awareness of what Page
discovered later when he wrote, “What is important
is not so much the presence or absence of an
available supply of calcium, such as the calcium in
foods, as it is the mechanisms that govern the
metabolism of calcium.”
Another great finding was that of the relationship
between the thyroid gland’s activity and that of
of the parathyroid.

Learn how Dr. George Meinig discovered that a meticulous 25 year research program, conducted by Weston A. Price, DDS, under the auspices of the American Dental Association’s Research Institute, was buried by disbelievers of the focal infection theory. Along the way, Dr. Meinig has received many recognition citatons and awards, both Nationally and internationally.
