CHEESESLAVE

Today I have a guest post from Cara at the Health, Home & Happiness blog. I’m deeply impressed by what Cara is doing to nourish her family. So many people these days have kids with allergies, behavior problems, autism, ADD and ADHD. Most people don’t even question these problems. They just accept them.

Not Cara. She’s doing something about it. She has taken her children’s health to heart and has started a protocol called the GAPS Diet to help them heal. What I love about her blog is how she takes GAPS, what seems to many as a restrictive and very difficult diet, and made it accessible and do-able.

Kevin Brown, personal trainer and author of The Liberation Diet, interviewed me this week on his internet radio show, The Liberation Wellness Hour.

We just got back from our Christmas trip to visit family in Texas. I had the most interesting talk with the woman sitting next to me on the plane. I feel compelled to share it with you all.

I love talking to immigrants from so-called “developing countries”. I can spend hours talking with them. Why? Because I want to know how they did things in their country, how they ate, how they cooked, what their family’s health was like.

Humans have been sprouting, soaking and fermenting grains for thousands of years. Every culture around the world that subsisted on grains has used some sort of soak or fermentation.

Doesn’t that blow your mind? Every culture. And we wonder why we have so much gluten intolerance today.

I don’t know about you but I often feel like I am too busy to read. Being a mom and running a business keeps me pretty occupied 24/7. One of the ways I squeeze a little education into my day is to listen to audiobooks, mp3s and podcasts.

This is primarily a food blog, extolling my love of cheese, raw milk, butter, and so on. But it is also fundamentally a blog about health and nutrition. Which is why I’m writing this post. I get so excited about the power of food to heal, I just have to share when I see something [...]

The other day, we spent the afternoon at the Museum of Natural History in New York City. We went to look at the dinosaurs, which was fascinating. I was even more interested in the skeletons of early humans and the exhibits of indigenous peoples. I only had my iPhone camera with me, but I thought [...]

Last week we took a weekend trip down to San Diego with my in-laws to do Sea World and the San Diego Zoo with our daughter. On this trip, we were only going for a weekend so I figured we’d have less stress and just eat out. We had a great time, and we stayed in one of those hotels that have suites, so we saved some money that way. They also told us proudly that a free breakfast was included. Even at no cost, this free breakfast was no bargain. I would rather pay less for the hotel room and have them offer no breakfast.

Based on the garbage they were trying to pass off as food at this free breakfast buffet, and the complete lack of nutrition, we’d have been better off going to McDonald’s.

In this 77-second video, Dr. Malcolm Kendrick proves that there is absolutely no correlation between heart disease and cholesterol.
I challenge you to watch this video and try to go on believing that the lipid hypothesis is valid.

You might want to send this video to the people you know who are still living the Low-fat [...]

I have a t-shirt that says, “The revolution will not be pasteurized”. On the back it says “Drink raw milk.” I wear it proudly because I believe so strongly in the health benefits of drinking raw, unpasteurized milk. (You can get one from the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund — click here.)
Pasteurization: [...]
