Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 Hello, I've been semi-lurking for a while now and thought I'd introduce myself. I have *finally* managed to get hold of 'Nourishing Traditions' after getting by just from westonaprice.com and I am absoultely dumbfounded. I cannot believe the nutritional importance contained there in. I already feel like an evangelist that no-one will listen to ;-) My family and friends must be sick to death, because it is all I have talked about since buying the book less than 2 weeks ago! I feel like my eyes have been opened (and I'm only up to sauces!). We are (30), Jonny(almost 30), Astrid(4) and Madeline(14months). My interest in nutrition was awakened as a result of Astrid's illness. She has seizures that are intractable to medication and developmental delays and in a quest to help her through other means I came across westonaprice (thanks to <waving>!). I have come accross lots of stuff about giving enzymes etc. but now I see how to get them from food. I have suspected that she was casien intolerant too and after an elimination diet her seizures certainly improved but I really do not want to keep her off dairy so I'm learning about culturing. I'm having real trouble locating raw milk here in England - if there are any brits here could you please give me a shout? A quick question about sourdough. Is it still necessary to soak the flour or does the starter remove all the phytates? Thanks, it's great to be here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
