Well, it’s been a few months since Karen sent me The Book, and I am still so happy. We are going to see Sally in June, (Mum and I) and I am working on Mum to get her healthy now. I have lost 8 kilos from eating butter. And cream. And meat. And sauerkraut….what can I say about sauerkraut! It’s has made my life liveable again. Here in Adelaide we cannot get raw milk or anything like that so I buy the organic milk and kraut, and we make our own sourdough bread and bone broths, and life is pretty wonderful. I still have epilepsy and athsma, but I can’t do much about that. But Nourishing Traditions has made our lives just so much more liveable, and I was able to shift those extra kilos that have been sitting there, even though I was exercising and I couldn’t move them. Favourite recipe - the Venison with ginger sauce, which we replaced with kangaroo to make it Aussie style, and the amazing Black Bean Soup, which blew my mind.

I can relate to both stories. Thanks, Joanne, for a clear view into FAllon’s work. I am most appreciative of your story as well.
Briefly, I have continued faith that my body and psyche is going to relax into this way of life given half a chance and not relapsing into the ‘old ways’ of eating and thinking because they go together for me.
The pendulum will swing back to the middle nourishing way….and all will resolve itself as the body loves homeostasis. As soon as the body KNOWS it will be given food on a regular basis that is nourishing, it no longer has to *dread* those low fat, plastic yogurt containers coming at it. ugh.
IMHO, I don’t think Fallon’s work has hit its peak yet. but there’s no question in my mind that it will! There will be a revolt and our Weston Price groups will be there to help.
Speaking of which, I am riding with some of my new group to a Three Stone Heart [Oakland, Ca] dinner this Saturday night. http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?event=LFSJSZHFIEBCEBCVYDMN&li=iq&src=email
The menu makes me, well, a little in awe, nervous and excited. Henriette, I can also relate to your one coffee and chocolate….the latter is next for me….but I’m not bent out of shape. It’s all a journey that I can say, with my mental health being better than ever, I am happy to be on with you all.
Hugs..as always.

Hi
I would love to tell you about my feelings about NT
I have always been a great cook and love french food with butter, cream, cheese you name it.
At the same time I live in a country with a very active state when it comes to health
- they advice us on everything and sadly the wrong advice !
15 years ago I was a very young mum- sad, allergic and a lacto ovo vegetarian. However I was very overweight and tired.
At that time I got involved with bloodtype diet and that changed my life
- I started to eat meat and fish again lost weight and felt good- but I felt something was missing:
I still had quite a lot of grain and sugar in my diet- and used a lot of low/no fat products

More than 2 years ago I started to read WAP webpage IÂ´m an archeologist so I was not really surprised when I read about our ancestors diet- and I just KNEW I had to get the NT book.
What a blessing - I kicked all my low fat dieary out - started to eat more eggs without feeling guilty - prepaired my beans, seeds grains acording to the book- and I feel more alive than ever.
My teen is healthier than ever (she does not do dairy except butter and cheese) - but is a slim/ well build - bright kid - When she shows the teachers her lunch, they canÂ´t believe that she is so healthy and happy - she does all the wrong things: eat lots of protein, saturated fat and a low grain diet.
I enjoy food more than ever - I feel happy - my bloodsugar is stable and IÂ´m finally starting to loose the last 10 kg that I need. I canÂ´t belive it - while I enjoy good tasting food.
IÂ´m still not off chocolate and 1 cup of coffee- and IÂ´m not sure IÂ´ll ever be.
I love to live - thanks so much for the food- making me enjoy food again
Now I just have to stop worring about my shopping basket - You are almost a criminel here when you buy whole fat milk, cream and BUTTER !
