Dr. Weston Price, a world renowned researcher and dentist traveled to 14 countries comparing the health of those who ate their indigenous diets vs those who lived in the cities and ate processed foods from cans, tins and boxes. He documented his findings in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. Of course he found that those who ate foods in their natural state were much healthier than those eating the processed foods. But in addition, he was quite intrigued about a substance found in the healthy diets that had not been yet discovered. He knew it was a fatsoluble vitamin, but was unsure of its name. So he called it Activator X because he said that it was an activator or catalyst for many of the bodies’s functions and conferred excellent health to the bones, heart, gave fertility to women, helped the development of babies, among many other beneficial effects.

Years later it was found to be Vitamin K. But not all Vitamin K is the same. K1 is found in green leafy vegetables. Vitamin K2 is found in animal fat, the eggs of fish and is especially high in milk. It is even higher in butter, which is the concentrated form of milk, and he then centrifuged the butter to make it even more beneficial. Clarifying butter increases it even more, which is probably why the ancient rishis of India who cognized Ayurveda recommended clarifying the butter as opposed to just eating it plain. Of course they didn’t know of the name Vitamin K2, but they somehow knew that butter that was clarified was even better for you than plain butter.

And specifically, the beneficial part of the Vitamin K2 is called MK4, which is found in food. There are several other side chains of Vitamin K2, such as the MK7 found in the synthetic Vitamin K2 supplements, but its health benefits pale in comparison to the real thing found in the milk, butter and ghee.

This is important information to know, because so many people are taking synthetic K2, the MK7 version and aren’t aware that milk, butter and especially ghee contain the kind the body can use to correctly bind the calcium found in the body and deliver it into the teeth and bones. This is why the indigenous people Dr. Price studied had strong bones, excellent dental arches, no dental cavities and exhibited robust health compared to those who had refined vegetable oils and processed foods.

It’s important to learn about this Vitamin as it can prevent so many diseases, provided you get it in the correct form, Vitamin K2 MK4, found only in food. The synthetic versions do not contain this specific version of Vitamin K2.

Many people have been told from such a young age to avoid cholesterol so most of the world is avoiding it now and following low fat diets. Many people are on cholesterol medicine which depletes the body of Vitamin K2 MK4, and many others have been avoiding animal milk in favor of plantbased milks, thinking this is the correct thing to do when in reality they are unwittingly depriving their body of a fat which ironically can prevent heart disease, instead of causing it.

Please listen to this video a few times to thoroughly understand the information presented here so you too don’t go down a path of avoiding cholesterol, eating a lowfat, going on statin drugs and purposely avoiding cow’s and goat’s milk which could create a deficiency in this very valuable vitamin which Dr. Price found conferred great health and longevity.
