I really liked the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price, as mentioned in my section on Connective Tissue Disorders: The Overlaps and Links to Nutrition. The web site linked to below has some great information on Dr. Price's work, but unfortunately it also contains a lot of dietary edicts by the web site authors that in my opinion are not right for everybody and weren't really in the original book.

I'm allergic to milk and yeast breads, so I don't agree with the way the Weston Price Foundation pushes these foods as good for everyone. However, I have had a noticeable improvement in my connective tissue disorders symptoms since I've added more meat, animal fats, organ meat and broth to my diet so I've found their advice helpful on these fronts. The overall the site does have some very interesting sections that may be of interest to people with weak bones or other symptoms of connective tissue disorders, so I've included the sections of the site that I like below.

• Ancient Dietary Wisdom for Tomorrow's Children - Relevant information for people with connective tissue disorders as it covers the role of diet in features such as crooked teeth, small jaws, overbites, narrowed faces, underdevelopment of the nose and lack of well-defined cheekbones.
• SAD Changes in the Standard American Diet
• Merrie Old England (Review of the traditional English diets)
• The Myths of Vegetarianism
• Broth is Beautiful
• Health of Traditional Peoples - If you only read one of these links read this one - it's witty
