It has long been taught in health orthodoxy that a low-fat diet was ideal for preventing disease; but more and more, this idea is being called into question. As more and more new research comes in, the orthodox medical establishment has had to grudgingly admit that perhaps their theories have been wrong all along. On the weight maintenance side of things, we have been taught that higher intake of dietary fat makes us gain body fat, but research is now showing that the opposite may be the case. Continue reading
Shifting Needs
I think I have figured out why there has been so much confusion about what is the optimal diet. It has a lot to do with the fact that our physical vibration is changing as the Earth moves into a new dimension. Higher frequencies have different needs. Continue reading
How Exactly Roundup-Ready Foods Harm You
Dr. Mercola shared the following YouTube video in a recent article. Continue reading
The Coming Paradigm of Pursuing Biological Balance
I am currently reading An Epidemic of Absence: A New Way of Understanding Allergies and Autoimmune Diseases by Moises Velasquez-Manoff. In a nutshell, it is about how the decreasing biodiversity of our environment is creating more disease. It is about how our agricultural methods, sanitation methods, and compulsive cleaning have in very short order eliminated many of the microorganisms and parasites that we evolved to deal with.

The Body Ecology Diet and Probiotics
Last week, I went to the free Super Charge Your Health Class at Soothe Your Soul in Hermosa Beach. This seminar is given once or twice a month at the store. The headline on the email advertising the class said that it would be about leaky gut and other digestive issues. Continue reading
My First “CSA” Box
My first box arrived from Farm Fresh To You. It’s a service that delivers organic produce right to your door. I ordered a Veggies Only box since we tend not to eat many fruits. This week’s box included Continue reading
Baking Bread
I was inspired by the information about the Loetschental Valley to try making my own bread from freshly ground flour. Dr. Price recommended that each city should have its own mill to provide freshly ground flour to bakeries. Since that isn’t likely to happen any time soon, I will have to grind my own. Fortunately, I already have a KGM Grain-Mill Attachment for my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Continue reading
Nutrition in the Loetschental Valley
I am currently reading Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price. Dr. Price was concerned about the degeneration of dental health that he was seeing in his practice. He decided to go out and find populations where dental health was still good. He traveled the world looking for people still eating traditional diets. This book was first published in 1939, but it would be very difficult to write such a book today because virtually all populations now include modern foods in their diet. Continue reading
Bone broth for health
Bone broths are an important element of traditional cuisines. They are the basis of wonderful sauces, soups, and gravies.
Bone broth is a great way to get the nutrients needed for healthy bones and joints in an easily absorbable form. Bone broth is rich in Continue reading
Cream in my coffee
I have found lately that putting cream or unsalted butter in my coffee or tea can really shut down my appetite, so much so that I have decided to reduce the butter I use with my morning egg.
Of course, I want to get the best fats in my diet. Pasture-fed dairy has more omega-3 fat and less omega-6 fat. The more the cow’s diet depends on pasture, the better the balance of these fats. Continue reading
