I loved Adelle Davis. I read her book in 1969 at the age of 17 and she completely changed my life forever. Today at the age of 70, I still follow a lot of her advise. She helped so many people.
What a wonderful video, thank you so much for publishing. We've been referring to Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis for over 40 yrs and the information is as pertinent today as it was decades ago.
Loved this woman and what she stood for. Well ahead of her time. If only the NHS ,schools and GP's would educate parents on how to feed themselves and their children, the population of the UK 's health would improve significantly and the NHS would not be on it's knees. So many illnesses, including mental illnesses and deseases could be prevented just by sound nutrition. Adele Davie book, Lets have healthy children was a life changing book for me and I beleive as a direct result of following her advice I had three beautiful and robustly healthy children. This woman should get an award for her pioneering, brave and insightful work.
My mother raised me on Adele Davis 1950s-60s. She was right about a lot of things. Doctors still don't know the fundamentals. Agri-business owns them, and the country.
Totally fascinating interview ! Not only informative but also quite entertaining. Thank you very much for uploading for us to enjoy. I can remember watching her interviewed by Merv Griffin on his talk show in the 70s when I was a teen. Way ahead of her time in many ways. CHEERS ! 😊
Adele Davis's rule of thumb for the correct balance of the B vitamins (rarely if even found in multi vites and multi B vites) still stands. Years ago she was outraged when extreme limits were put on folic acid (because it might hide an obscure anemia) and argued that the entire population was being made folate-deficient as a result. We still are!! Some and maybe much neuropathy might result simply from that. Many other complaints too.
She saw the change coming. My grandparents ate REAL food: eggs, butter, lard, etc. They lived long, healthy lives. I challenge you to find Real Food these days.
I read her book, “Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit” years ago, about 1970, and it changed my life! She was wonderful. I don’t drink milk, but use it to make a daily cocoa…A2 milk sold by Dr Mercola…it tastes JUST LIKE the bottled milk that was delivered to our milk box when I was a kid.
More impressive than anything else here is that the pretty girl who asks the questions pulled this interview off over two years after Adele Davis´ death.
Okay, here are two comments on the bad affect Adelle Davis had (directly or indirectly) on my life. When I was about 7 years old, my mother starting reading her books, and then became a completely strict adherent of the idea of natural foods only. 1) From then on, all sweets were banned in our house, which also extended to fast food, pizza, hot lunch at school, and other foods children generally enjoy. Our diet consisted of bland, often barely palatable foods, for all my years growing up, resulting in my desire to "sneak" foods I wasn't allowed to have at friends' homes, and alone at the store. Rather than allowing some of these enjoyable foods in some moderation, there was such zero allowance for them that when I was finally on my own in my 20's, I so badly craved these fatteining, sugary foods in my adult life that it was almost all I ate, and I became very overweight, and then badly diabetic by my mid-30's. Was it all my mother's fault for taking Adelle Davis so literally? Maybe not, but it was a main influence, and a strategy that severely backfired in my case (recall that Adelle Davis was criticized by many for being too extreme). As some say, if a person does not have a childhood as a child, the person will have a childhood as an adult. 2) For anyone who had the experience of being forced to drink Adelle Davis's undrinkable concoction called "Pep-Up", I sincerely empathize. Consisting of skim milk, Brewer's yeast, soy, egg, and "orange for flavor", the best way I can describe it as drinking thick, barf-flavored mud. Then again, nobody in my family ever faked being sick to get out of school, and rarely reported being sick even if we really were, because if we did, we would get Pep-Up.
It looks to me that Adelle is on NDT or is a on a very good thyroid supportive diet, I am amazed at how old this woman was when interviewed and how animated/level of energy she had.
what kind of milk was she talking about. Milk, now, contains: cow hormones, antibiotics, tranquilizers... the calcium they contain is non-assimilable, etc. etc. etc.
She refers to raw milk in “let’s eat right to get fit”. The thing I found amazing reading this book earlier this year, was that it was almost 100 yrs ago that they started messing with and ruining our food.
@@jenbear8652 i was bred on raw milk only till i was 15. Then I started having de-calcification issues when I moved, and only had "chemically-loaded" milk!
Adelle Davis was referring to raw milk straight from a washed cow's udder, not chemically modified milk with added latex from the store or milk that has been heated so high that all the micro bacteria die and is now less beneficial than drinking your own urine.
Too bad she was so wrong about cow's milk, cheese and eggs. (See a lecture by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, cardiologist who has helped THOUSANDS reverse heart disease.) But she was BRILLIANT when it came to teaching not to cook out all the nutrition in our foods with too high of heat and cooking too long.
Very interesting..yes, ahead of her time or perhaps the mother of health. But, as for milk and dairy we know today it is no good for you or your bones and green vegetables are the best source of calcium.
There's individual person differences on that matter. Dairy products are definitely good for human health if of prime quality, non homogenized, raw is generally preferred but not in all cases. Also, cultured milk is better for many people, fresh milk is not so well handled by many people. As with grains, cultured grain products are better handled by most peoples' bodies compared to uncultured grains. Cultured in the sense of fermented with bacteria or fungi, in some manner to some degree.
She died of a vitamin D deficiency disease. Back then it was thought that taking over 1,000 IU of D3 per day could cause harm. Now we know that if everyone took 10,000 IU of D3 daily our healthcare costs would drop by 90% or more.
@@dancinginabundance Yes, cancer is a vitamin D deficiency disease. We were just starting to learn this in 1974. I just Googled "vitamin d" "multiple myeloma" and found that mm patients have low D levels and, for white people, the lower D levels predicted failure to survive.
She spoke about the dangers of vitamin deficiencies. That's why people said that cancer can't be prevented many times, only the risk of developing it can be lowered. There are folks that smoke and drank everyday and they don't even had cancer or any ailments.
wonderful to see footage of her, but while she is on point with white bread, she was misguided on whole grains + cereals being healthy .. many newer studies have shown that no matter how ‘ healthy ‘ the grains are, they also have anti nutrients which (amongst other flaws) blocks zinc absorption, etc. her white hair could have been a nice early indicator that she was nutrient deficient in some key trace minerals .. but now I have an extra guru to seek knowledge from (thanks to a comment on a recent Dr. Berg video on how healthy grass fed butter is).
But if you refer to Weston Price , he discovered 100 yrs ago, that traditionally prepared grains & nuts involved soaking or fermenting to neutralize the antinutrients. So in our quest for convenience we became lazy & stupid in nutrition. Between glyphosate (roundup) being sprayed, even on “organic “ grains & the not soaking of grains, of course people will have health issues. When people find a source (there are a very few) of non-sprayed grains & then soak grains/flour before using, most health issues resolve.
I like listening to her. However, the interview seems like the questions were tailored to the answers in advance. NOT that there's anything wrong with that. haha....
I loved Adelle Davis. I read her book in 1969 at the age of 17 and she completely changed my life forever. Today at the age of 70, I still follow a lot of her advise. She helped so many people.
I heartily concur !!
My mother was very into her way of thinking and had all her books. We were all very healthy. My mom is now 76 and is still very healthy.
What a wonderful video, thank you so much for publishing. We've been referring to Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis for over 40 yrs and the information is as pertinent today as it was decades ago.
Nothing refined is the key to good health, thank you Adelle, you are timeless!

My mother's Guru. Clearly a woman ahead of her time!
She introduced me to the idea that maybe what I had been eating was not all that good.
Adele Davis's rule of thumb for the correct balance of the B vitamins (rarely if even found in multi vites and multi B vites) still stands.

Thank you very much for this Video. Any more medical videos from this time?
Woman ahead of her time! It really is that simple 😊
wonderful

don't let the utube thought police see this. this lady better learn to trust the science.
She really missed the mark on milk
She's talking about raw milk, not the mass produced pasteurised stuff
Agree.
That's funny, i read her book when i was about 14
Too bad she was so wrong about cow's milk, cheese and eggs. (See a lecture by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, cardiologist who has helped THOUSANDS reverse heart disease.)

In 1974, at the age of 70, Davis died from multiple myeloma, an incurable form of blood cancer with unclear causes.

And if freshly ground and eaten, take care of those things.

God made everything good. You can drink too much water. Peace ✌️🕊️.
This woman has it wrong. On something’s were right but most are not correct.
