starts in utero and the mother continues
passing vitamin D to her child if she
breastfeeds.18 In children, low vitamin D
levels have been related to tooth decay,19
and adequate vitamin D may be linked to
lower rates of decay.20 A small amount of
research has shown supplementation may
prevent caries.
Bone growth is being directed by a child's
stores of vitamin D, and a deficiency in children is known to cause growth retardation.21
Vitamin D also directs cellular growth,
binding to and influencing thousands of
genes.22 And perhaps critically, deficiency
in vitamin D directs the epigenome.23
For a long time, Price's fat-soluble vitamins theory lacked a physiology model to
support it. However, with the help of many
arms of science, we now understand crooked
teeth as a food-driven outcome.
The traffic lights of growth
and development
To better understand crooked teeth,
let's look at how the human body develops
right from birth.
As the fetus grows, it develops different
systems, such as the spinal cord, skeletal
system and organs, in an established order,
with progress checkpoints. However, if one
part of the body hasn't finished, it can't afford
to wait. The show must go on.
For instance, spina bifida happens
when the neural tube fails to close. These
checkpoints occur around the 23rd and 27th
days of pregnancy.24 With adequate folate,
a building block of the nervous system, the
body completes its work correctly and moves
onto other systems. Without enough folate,
the job is left incomplete, and the child with
an exposed spinal cord.
As the craniofacial system develops,
it too has a series of progress checkpoints.
When a child reaches a certain stage, whether
inputs have been sufficient or not, the growth
stages move on. A small or narrow dental
arch has been left unfinished like a spinal
cord in spina bifida.
Fat-soluble vitamins-the
bricks and mortar of teeth
Price's theory centered on the trilogy of
fat soluble vitamins. K 2 wasn't identified as
Activator X until 2007 by Chris Masterjohn.
Masterjohn has since fleshed out much of
their three-way synergy in the body.
