DESCRIPTION
INUIT NOW FOUND TO HAVE HAD CANCER ON PALEO PRIMAL NATIVE DIET.INUIT MUMMIES WERE UNEARTHED. THESE MUMMIES OF ARCTIC INUIT PEOPLE LIVED OVER FIVE CENTURIES AGO.THIS IS EVEN BEFORE WESTERN CONTACT, SO THEY ARE EXEMPLARY OF A TRADITIONAL, PRIMAL, PRIMITIVE, MEAT-BASED NON-WESTERN DIET.WITNESS THE FOLLOWING:01 - THE INUIT WERE CONFIRMED TO HAVE CANCER, WHILE EATING A PURELY NATIVE PALEO STYLE DIET.02 - THE INUIT BODIES WERE RIDDLED WITH CARCINOMA, WHILE EATING WHOLLY NATURAL TRADITIONAL WILD FOODS.03 - THE INUIT WHILE ON THEIR PALEO PRIMAL DIET WERE FOUND TO HAVE EXTENSIVE BONE JOINT LESIONS.04 - THE INUIT GAVE BIRTH TO CHILDREN WITH BIRTH DEFECTS WHILE EATING PALEOLITHIC TYPE DIET.05 - THE INUIT WERE FOUND TO HAVE GIVEN BIRTH TO A CHILD WITH DOWNS SYNDROME (SLOPED FOREHEAD, DEMENTED) WHILE ON PALEO DIET06 - INUIT BODIES WERE FOUND STRICKEN WITH PERTHES DISEASE, A WASTAGE & DISINTEGRATION OF THE LEG BONE (HIP), AND MAY HAVE GONE LIMP.07 - A FEMALE INUIT, ON THE INUIT TRADITIONAL PRIMAL SOLUTION DIET, WAS POSSIBLY HIT WITH BREAST CANCER.08 - THE INUIT CANCER IN THE WOMAN HAD METASTICIZED AND SPREAD THROUGHOUT HER BODY IN MULTIPLE LESIONS WHILE EATING PALEO.09 - ALL OF THE INUIT PERSON'S TEETH HAD FALLEN OUT, WHILE EATING PALEO, AND APPEARED TO BE INFECTED WITH GUM DISEASE.10 - WHILE ON THE MEAT BASED PALEO DIET, THEY GOT INFECTED WITH PINWORMS - SMALL PARASITES LIVING IN THEIR ABDOMEN, OFTEN SOURCED FROM INGESTING MEAT.11 - ALL OF THE PALEO INUIT MEAT-EATERS WERE INFESTED WITH HEAD LICE - NITS. AS WELL AS EGG-LARVAE.THUS, THE INUIT ARE NOW CONFIRMED TO HAVE CANCER. - AND BIRTH DEFECTS, AND BONE WASTAGE, AND PARASITES, AND LICE, AND WORSE.AND THE INUIT GREW TUMOURS AND CANCER ALL DURING THE TIME THEY WERE EATING A PRIMAL NATIVE PALEOLITHIC DIET.(Note: No citations of anecdotes such as some early explorer in the 1900's visiting the Inuit failing to 'notice' any cancer can be used. This is because these so-called explorers were conducting their activities prior to the advent of X-rays and other modern cancer detection equipment, therefore they only saw none because they only used their eyes, they didn't have x-ray equipment. Therefore no such accounts from Weston A. Price, or Vilhalmur Stefannson, etc can ever be used as proof of such a negative. This example is noteworthy because these were mummies, which existed even prior to Weston A. Price, or Stefannson, and in fact even pre-dated human western european contact, therefore there is no contamination of the diet by western influences at all, it did not exist. Plus, the fact that these mummies were unearthed preserved from the frozen arctic now, in the time of modern medicine, allowed the true diagnostics of x-rays and modern cancer detection equipment to be used to spot the extensive infection with tumours and cancers that were not detected by the naked eye by some early explorer. Lo and behold it turns out the Inuit were infested with cancer afterall.

produced a thorough and sensible study which will become the standard reference work ongarum and salted fish in the Roman world. There is now no excuse for ignoring their dietaryimportance in the ancient world, and it is to be hoped that Curtis or someone else will take thestudy of this aspect further.

The Greenlandmummies, first published simultaneously in Danish and Greenlandic in 1985, isa most handsome and readable book, lavishly illustrated, and of interest to the specialistanthropologist and non-specialist alike. It recounts the discovery and scientific investigation ofthe bodies of six women and two children of Inuit culture buried in 1475. They were members ofa small community at Qilakitsoq, a settlement on the western coast of Greenland, 450 km northof the Arctic circle. The finding of the mummies in October 1979 by two brothers out ptarmiganhunting is told in an absorbing account that one of them wrote to a friend. The professionalinvestigation of the graves is also described in a personal way that involves the reader in theexcitement of the event.
This is followed by a discussion on dating technique and the process whereby the bodies werepreserved (mainly of interest to the amateur) and a most significant chapter is devoted to thescientific investigation of the mummies. Routine physical anthropological examination wascarried out, and extensive use made of clinical X-radiography. The precise determination ofadult ages by this method does somewhat stretch credibility, and for the specialist moreexplanation would have been of interest. But the reproduction of the X-rays is excellent, and therange of palaeopathological lesions exhibited is extensive, including a child with Down'ssyndrome and Perthes disease. A most interesting skull radiograph is reproduced of a femalemummy 11/8, which shows numerous erosive bone lesions, and it is suggested that these aremetastatic carcinomatous deposits. Unfortunately the preservation of her soft tissues was poor,so the authors are unable to suggest a possible primary neoplasm in this case; breast carcinomaseems likely. Dental disease in the mummies is analysed and the chewing of sealskin is proposedto account for attrition. It was also found that all the bodies were infested with head lice and atleast one had intestinal pinworm infestation. Tissue typing was carried out and interestingproposals regarding family relationships of the mummified bodies are made. This is an excitingnew field of investigation in preserved soft tissue. No firm conclusions could be drawn on thecause of death.
There is much fascinating information in this book ranging from contemporary Inuit ideas ondeath and burial ritual, to tattooing, clothes, and living conditions in fifteenth-century westernGreenland in general. I highly recommend it.

In an introductory essay he analyses their subsequent publishing history as three separate,and now rare, booklets, and continues with an account of Snow's involvement in thedevelopment of general anaesthesia. Within one month of the administration of the first generalanaesthetic in England, Snow had successfully applied John Dalton's concept of saturated
