new to list

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Would like to introduce myself to the list. My

name is Bethanne Elion . I grew up " in the food

business " meaning that my mother was a chef

and taught cooking first in our home and then

had a gourmet shop, cooking school and

weekend restaurant under one roof. My mother

and I had a mother daughter column in the

local paper when I was in Junior High School

(a zillion years ago!).

I have been studying nutrition in relation to

dogs for six years now thanks to my dear

friend, Volhard who wrote The Holistic

Guide for a Healthy Dog. I do nutritional

consulting part time for dogs and still study

everything I can get my hands on in regards to

alternative medicine and nutrition.

I had originally found Sally Fallon's book

through my friends who own a lovely farm on

the border of Vermont and Canada where they

naturally rear their cows on beautiful

pastures. They use mainly homeopathy and

herbs for healing. I adore going there (a four

hour trip each way). I work with them as well

as an animal intuitive - one of my other part

time " jobs " so to speak.

I am truly very happy to have found this list. I

consider myself an advocate for animal health

and humans do fall into that category :-)
