Bone Broth, Organ Meats, and Raw Dairy: Weston A. Price’s Key Foods for Spinal Health

Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist and researcher, spent years studying the diets of traditional societies. He found that people who ate nutrient-rich, ancestral foods had excellent bone structure, strong teeth, and resilient joints. Among the foods he highlighted for spinal health were bone broth, organ meats, and raw dairy. These foods provide essential nutrients that modern diets often lack. (1)

Foods for Spinal Health

Bone Broth: Building Strong Vertebrae and Joints

Bone broth has been a staple in traditional diets for generations. When animal bones simmer for hours, they release collagen, gelatin, and an array of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients help maintain strong vertebrae and keep spinal discs flexible.

Collagen and gelatin support connective tissues, including the ligaments and cartilage surrounding the spine. Many who consume bone broth regularly report improved mobility and reduced stiffness, as the broth nourishes joints from within. The easily absorbed minerals in broth also provide the raw materials needed for bone maintenance and repair.

Organ Meats: A Lost Superfood for Spinal Health

Organ meats, once prized for their exceptional nutrient content, have largely disappeared from modern diets. However, they remain one of the best sources of vitamins and minerals essential for spinal strength.

Liver is particularly rich in vitamin A, which supports calcium absorption and bone remodeling. It also contains vitamin K2, a nutrient that ensures calcium is properly deposited in bones rather than soft tissues. Without adequate K2, calcium can accumulate in arteries and joints instead of strengthening the spine. Heart and kidneys also contain important nutrients like CoQ10 and B vitamins, which help maintain energy levels and overall musculoskeletal health.

Raw Dairy: Calcium and Beyond

Raw dairy was a dietary cornerstone in many traditional cultures, providing bioavailable calcium, vitamin D, and healthy fats. Unlike pasteurized dairy, raw milk preserves natural enzymes and beneficial bacteria that aid digestion and nutrient absorption.

The calcium and phosphorus in raw dairy are critical for maintaining spinal strength, while vitamin D helps regulate calcium levels in the body. Many people who consume raw dairy notice improvements in posture, muscle tone, and skeletal resilience, as these nutrients work together to support the body’s natural structure.

Traditional Foods for a Stronger Spine

Weston A. Price’s research continues to be relevant today. While processed foods dominate modern diets, traditional nourishment provides the essential building blocks for spinal health. Bone broth, organ meats, and raw dairy offer a natural way to support the spine, improve flexibility, and maintain long-term strength. Those who return to these foods often experience better mobility, increased comfort, and a greater sense of vitality.

What part of your body does this?

It deactivates drugs – without it, a few ounces of alcohol could keep you drunk for life; a moment’s adrenaline rush would go on and on; pharmaceuticals would never stop altering your body chemistry.

It helps life-sustaining nutrients to get to your cells.

It converts food into nutrients.

It stores fats, sugars, iron, and vitamins for later use by the body

It is the most amazing juggler in existence – creating and balancing over 13,000 chemicals and hormones.

It keeps your blood sugar levels within a safe margin and balances vitamins and minerals so your bones will stay strong and won’t deteriorate.

It clears out inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed (through the skin) toxins, chemicals, and pollution. Without this constant detoxification of waste and toxins, you’d be dead in less than a day.

It works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and doesn’t take off for holidays.

With the exception of your skin, it is the largest organ in your body and performs more than 500 functions to keep you healthy.

If you guessed your liver……… go to the head of the class.

When your liver is not functioning properly you may feel sluggish and possibly nauseous. Many of your organs are affected by an unhealthy liver – your eyes can be bloodshot, you can have bad breath, abdominal bloating, poor digestion, fatigue, a coated tongue, a sluggish metabolism, excessive body heat, sugar cravings, and inability to lose weight. A sluggish liver stresses the kidney, heart, and brain.

This is one very important organ.

An important way to keep your liver healthy is to make sure your spine is healthy. Why? Because your liver, as well as your other organs, needs constant communications from your spine. A subluxation could block essential communications between your brain and body, potentially affecting liver function.

Did You Know? Which of your organs is the largest? 

Is it your liver? Brain? Intestines? None of those – it’s your skin! It’s gigantic. Your skin includes everything that covers your body and that organsincludes your hair and fingernails. Your skin is rather heavy – it accounts for about 16% of your entire body weight. 

Even though it’s heavy, it is very thin. At its thickest, the bottom of your feet, it is 1.5mm thick (as thick as a grain of rice). At the thinnest, your eyelids, its only 0.5mm. 

How much do you know about your organs?

We know you can recognize people from looking at their face; you can also recognize them from their liver, stomach lungs, heart, eyeballs, spine – our parts are unique. Every part of your body is like your fingerprints, unlike any other fingerprint in the world. Even identical twins have different fingerprints! 

Speaking about fingerprints, they are not just useful to the police for identification. Fingerprints give your skin friction so you can pick things up and hold them.

Your skin is also a barrier to protect you from infection and also serves as a major waste disposal site – using sweating, rashes, boils, pustules and other yucky mechanisms to keep you healthy and free from toxins.

Perhaps most amazing is that your skin completely renews itself every 27 days! Even during this complete change, your fingerprints remain the same. So, you can improve your looks by eating better, getting a massage, sitting in a sauna, fasting and cleansing – but it’ll take about a month to see the difference.
