Nourishing Traditions--Sally Fallon/Weston Price
Posted: Fri Aug 24, 2012 7:12 am
Just curious if anyone else (Jimmylegs??) was into the Nourishing Traditions way of eating. I was a vegetarian/vegan for 10 years and was in remission from all my ills for 7 years. Then I was the sickest I had ever been in my life all of a sudden with new neuro symptoms while I was vegan.
The above occurrence and a sudden unexplained craving for flank steak I could not ignore, made me decide to start eating meat again. I subsequently found that I was a bit anemic, so it was good that I decided to be a carnivore once again. I started doing my research, and found Sally Fallon's book. I like her philosophy of eating the most nutritionally dense non-processed foods you can get your hands on.
I now cook almost everything we eat from scratch and we pretty much avoid processed foods. I refuse to eat anything with artificial crap in it. I make all of our bread, yogurt, and even sauerkraut (Wild Fermentation is another good book for nutrition). We have our own chickens for good eggs. Hopefully I will have goats soon and will use the milk for cheese and yogurt. We buy organic grass fed meats and try to get local organic veg and grow a lot on our own and can them for later. The only thing I cannot do that Ms. Fallon recommends is the soaked grain breads...As a bread baker I found them utterly repellant in every way! Ew!
I have been better but do have the odd flare here and there, sometimes requiring prednisone...and have developed a pesky tremor of late. I feel like the healthiest sick person around!
I am interested in the fact the MS folks are low in magnesium and zinc..I am highly stressed as well (work a lot of 12 hour days as a medical writer). I am going to look into these 2 supplements.
Jimmlegs...any advice on that is much wlecomed.
