Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Hi - Great point! I'm glad I asked. I'm still trying to really nail down and absorb various aspects of Sally Fallon's knowledge, as I do believe she is brilliant. I'm anxious to learn how to prepare some of the foods (the ones w/out dairy) that would be really helpful in restoring GI bacteria, provide natural enzymes from foods that aren't allergenic, etc. She's the first resource I've come across that has snatched up my optimism and helped me overcome a lot of anxiety over food. What I still need to learn, I want to learn from her.
