Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 The books mentioned previously indicate that dairy consumption has been going on for a very short blip in time, certainly after the end of hunter-gatherer (paleolithic) and after the beginning of agriculture. The contemporary Maori people of Africa maintain livestock and drink lots of milk (as well as blood) but do very little cultivation of grain. I truly doubt that anyone ever milked an American Bison! According to " Eat Right for Your Type " , it's the later blood types, especially AB (which might be only 900 years old) that have to evolved to accept dairy and digest it well. We " Cave People " Type O's, the oldest blood type, might respond best to the Paleo (non-grain, low carb) diet.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 How interesting! I'm an O, and although I do eat dairy, when I was once on the Atkins diet, I felt better and healthier than I had ever done! I'm trying now to only consume cultured dairy (yogurt and kefir, mainly). x Shoshana x In the UK x Shmi x Shmi Skywalker Sent from my BlackBerry smartphone from Virgin Media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Thanks for your wisdom, Will!!! I'm inspired to keep reading in the book, but time shortage has hit me like a tidal wave. Sounds like I need to hear this author right away, so I'll opt for a listening overview with library CD's, then go back and read the book (folks who can't afford them right now can find both mediums through your library). We're in week 2 of wheat abstinance with the exception of a bacon sandwich Sunday. After eating that I found myself plastered on the sofa falling asleep. This is totally not my style. Couldn't have been anything other than the wheat affect after ten days without. Thanks to everyone for comments. co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 >How can something that has been a staple for centuries be unhealthy? I read an explanation that helped put it into perspective for me. It said to imagine the entire timeline of human's existence as the face of a clock. " Introduction of farming " would be placed at about 11:59. So the argument is that eating grains is a very " new " part of our diet. 4,000 years ago is nothing on an evolutionary timescale. And that that we have simply not had enough time to evolve to eat it. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Just a small correction. The African herding tribe that Will mentioned is the Masai. The Maori are from New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 A bit off topic, but has anyone read this book? I'm not even halfway through it, and I'm already convinced that wheat has no place in our home any longer. My husband can't eat gluten at all anyway, and I'm in the middle of trying to figure out what I'm allergic to. But the info in this book has sealed our gluten free forever fate, I do believe. Fascinating read. ~Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 FABULOUS! You are a clever lass! Thanks-I will post the link. I try to be judicious as to when/where I post links for stuff I "sell", but that seemed like a MUST! May I add that you have done a GRAND job with the files-thanks!Sent from my iPadOn Jan 22, 2012, at 1:12 PM, Lea Ann Savage <lsavage@...> wrote: Hey ,I made a folder on the links page called Off Topic (OT) Things We Like to Discuss...and I made sub folders called:Health & DietOther Kitchen Gadgets that we LoveFeel free to archive the link to your allergy kit there!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 The book is definitely on my must buy list. With an 17-month old extremely active & curious boy, an e-book would be easy. I need to see if I can get it on my kindle app! Fermented veggies scare me. I know they're safe, but my germaphobe tendencies make me nervous to try them. Luckily I have a great network of " real foodies " in my area and many of them are WAPF pros and they can help me along. I have also sourced some local grassfed ranches that sell soup bones. Bone broths will be happening here soon. Have you heard of continuous bone broth? Friends of mine do this in crockpots. Apparently you can get several batches of rich gelatinous broth from one set of bones. I can find the blog link I read on it if you're curious. ~Crystal > > > > A bit off topic, but has anyone read this book?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi , I was just talking to a friend about this kit this past week. I believe it was you that sent me the link a few months back after I asked you about it. I didn't realize it was base on NAET until the friend was telling me what her experiences with NAET were like. Then it clicked. Do you feel the home kit was as beneficial and successful as the treatments you had with a practitioner? My husband was very interested in the kit. I've been considering seeing a naturopath here that does NAET, but her visits are over $100 an hour and of course insurance won't cover any of it. ~Crystal > > > > > > A bit off topic, but has anyone read this book?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Crystal,Yes, would you please post the blog link for the "continuous" crockpot bone broth? This sounds most intriguing....Thank you!Blessings, On Jan 22, 2012, at 8:08 PM, krysmh2 wrote: The book is definitely on my must buy list.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I DO feel the kit has been just as beneficial as the NAET and BioSet!! I WISH I had found it first!!! That said, I do recommend that you have at least one treatment with a practitioner, so you can get a feel for it and understand how it works (that is NOT necessary, but I do recommend it) The reason I suggest that, is that I was a total skeptic, not only of NAET from a practitioner, but the kit itself-I just found it all hard to believe that it could be so simple, and I certainly didn't understand how " muscle testing " could possibly work. I have a law enforcement background, having been a cop for 10 years, and a paramedic for 5 of those 10 years (dual certification) and when it was explained to me that the muscle testing works the same way as a lie detector test, an EKG or a simple blood pressure check, it all clicked in to place...and I made an appointment with a NAET practitioner-with HUGE success! Within 24 hours after the treatment, I was able to add wheat and eggs back in to my diet-two foods that had consistently put me in the ER several times prior. As I mentioned, I would have loved to continue with treatments, but after spending over 1000 on a practitioner, I found the home kit and was/am able to treat myself, family and friends at home! My daugher recently developed a metal allergy, and started breaking out around where she wore her necklace and earrings-we treated it and it cleared up overnight. I do still avoic wheat and eggs, ONLY because finding organic sources of them is difficult, and I just really no longer have a taste for them (you can find " organic " eggs, but the hens are usually fed GMO grains-something I am highly opposed to, so I just don't bother)...but it is nice to know I no longer have to " fear " even having these things in my house. The home allergy kit is terrific. Certainly changes my world! In the interest of full disclosure, I do make a small commisison by recommending the kit to others, but I am confident that when others use it, they will want to recommend it too...and they, too, can receive a commission for doing so. > > > > > > > > A bit off topic, but has anyone read this book?
