Re: Sally Fallon Presentation & WAPF - Cost

[Guest guest]

I'm confused. Most of your post sounds like you are just getting started, but

then this statement: Or is it like going to a music concert - you already know

all the songs but it's just a pleasant experience to be there in person?

Do you know the song or are you just getting started? If you are just getting

started, this probably is a once in a lifetime experience for you.

No, you can't learn everything from the book, but the book is great, too!

I went to listen to Sally two years ago and it was life changing for me - really

got me a fur piece down the road of healthy eating, as the old timers say.

Although her presentation is outstanding, connecting with local, like-minded

people was invaluable. That is how I got connected to all the local grass-fed,

free-range farmers in my area.

If you can spare the price, I think it is a GREAT investment in your future

health!

Lis-

I've never seen Sally's presentation myself, but my understanding is

that it's quite introductory -- basically a survey of _Nutrition &

Physical Degeneration_ with a little additional information thrown in

-- though of course I could be wrong. If you're on a tight budget and

you already have NT and NAPD or easy access to them, well, maybe it's

$125 that could better be spent elsewhere. OTOH, as Kathy points out,

meeting like-minded people can be invaluable, and if you're not

already whole-heartedly committed to making this change in your life

and if you're sketchy on the details of what's involved, it could be

very useful.

As to joining the foundation and becoming a chapter member, that

probably depends on the chapter to a degree, but it can be very, very

useful if your chapter is active and can connect you with local

resources for finding nutritious foods.

Hi ,

I am SO committed to making these changes in buying

and eating (and maybe even trying some growing). I've

already packed some bags of unopened food (that I'll

no longer be wanting to use) to give away to the

foodbank. And what's already opened I'll offer to

anybody who wants it on Freecycle.

And I've contacted my local WAPF group, and requested

the list of local sources (which they had offered to

mail to me). I've gone to the Eatwild website and

found some local farmers. And to another website and

found a very close health-food store that sells

free-range. I can't say that I can afford to buy it

yet, but I'm inching my way towards trying to turn my

life completely upside down to see what changes can be

made.

I'm an avid reader, and hence I thought I could get

most of the info I need from the 2 books and from

asking questions in this and other online forums.

My 3 local WAPF groups have almost no online activity

- maybe they say everything they have to say in

person, I really don't know. But their lack of online

activity doesn't lead me to believe there will be much

opportunity to build acquaintances or exchange ideas

in person.

And if I can get their list of sources by mail, I

figured I'd be covered for the most important part.

I'm not deliberately trying to avoid going to the

presentation, I'm just wondering if I'll be

disappointed because I won't walk away with a LOT more

than I walked in with.

Thanks for your help,

Lis

There should not be any cost involved in joining a local chapter. there is a

cost for a

membership to the WAPF which includes receiving a quarterly journal and a

shopping

guide. I am a local co-leader and as I understand it, we can not charge for our

meetings.

we can however ask for donations to help pay the room rent, advertising, etc. We

give out

our resources to anyone who asks.

Lis, start with the easy things first. If you can minimize

manufactured fake foods and restaurant foods by making most of your

own food from scratch, you may actually save money. I believe the

most important thing you can do is eat foods that will provide good

nutrition. Preparing meals from scratch, even using whole

conventional foods, should provide better nutrition than eating

packaged highly processed foods. You will also avoid many of the

detrimental additives that are in commercially processed foods.

When you make your own meals, you can easily minimize the refined

sugars, vegetable oils, and soy that are probably the worst hazards in

most fake foods.

I think this is your best bet if money is tight. You can learn a lot

just by asking questions here.

1) To 'join' a local chapter (which I'm guessing means

earning the right to attend meetings), do you not have

to be a member of WAPF first then? That's the cost I'm

2) So if you receive a shopping guide when you join

3) I was asked to mail $2 to the local chapter (along

with a self-addressed stamped envelope) to receive the

local shopping guide. I'm guessing that is likely the

most important piece of the puzzle?

Hi,

I purchased Sally's DVD, Health, Beauty and Strength for $75 (I believe)

after joining WAPF -- so, if you're not a member already, it is probably the

same presentation, at the same cost, but you'll have it on DVD to watch

again. If you already are a member, then it is cheaper to own the DVD.

However, I think it would be pretty cool to hear Sally in person and connect

with other WAPFers.

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,

I know you mean well, but please don't assume that

just because I'm a newbie OR just because I don't have

a lot of money, that we eat poorly.

I already cook from scratch and don't use manufactured

/fake food. It's been like that for many years. And we

don't eat out often, and when we do it is not at a

chain, but at a small family-owned location that

serves home cooking (at a very affordable price).

There's really very little money to be squeezed out of

our current food expenses. Fresh fruits, veggies,

grains, dairy, meat - that's what we eat - and those

have fairly basic costs.

By and large, we already eat MUCH better than the

general population. It's just that now it's time to

tweak the menu even further (as per WAPF) - adding

MORE dairy (and trying to find it raw), introducing

fermented foods, making broth MORE often than before,

and hopefully working our way to grass-fed meats.

Like much of the general population I was led to

believe that polyunsaturated oils were healthy, so now

I know that the safflower oil has to go. And I also

want to remove the grains from our diet (personal

choice), so all of those have to go too. The ketchup

and the mayonnaise (which we seldom use anyway) will

also go, and I'll see what I can do to replace them

with homemade versions (or maybe just forget about

them altogether).

Our food cost is about as low as I am willing to take

it. We're not about to cut out something as healthy as

meat (even though it is fairly expensive). The

challenge NOW is to find a way to add in the WAPF

changes, at a reasonable cost.

Grain-fed pastured meat is costly. So is raw milk.

Getting the list of sources will be great - affording

them is another story.

I generally use cream cheese instead of mayo and plain unsweetened

tomato sauce instead of ketchup. I don't eat much of these either.

That can be a tough challenge, but not impossible. Your best bet on

local foods is getting in touch with local WAPF members who already

have explored the local options. And also check for farmer's markets

in your area (great for making contacts too). I'm able to get raw

milk at $6/gallon, which what it costs for organic milk at Whole Foods

here (I live near Austin TX). Still not as cheap as factory-farm milk

though.

In case you haven't seen it already:

http://www.localharvest.org/

And of course, you may be able to grow some of your own, if you don't

have a brown thumb, like me

[Guest guest]

1. I didn't.

2. It isn't locale-specific. It lists brand names of products.

3. I don't think its for local guide, I think it's the one that WAPF

shopping guide. No, I don't think the shopping guide is very important. I

keep it in my purse, but rarely use it.

[Guest guest]

Hi Lis,

I've been involved with WAPF for a few years now. Starting out, I attended one

of Sally Fallons seminars. I will NEVER regret it. The presentation itself

makes NaPD come alive. Yes, there is a power point presentation with photos and

information from the book, but there's also an enormous amt of added comments

and information from Sally. I took 5 pages of notes from that one lecture

alone. You'll get great encouragement from Sally and other attendees, but

you'll gain insight into food gathering, resources and preparation that are not

in either book. And yes, like others said, you'll meet and make connections

that will be extremely beneficial in your quest for certain foods and answers to

questions. Yes, GO!

I'm also of the opinion that joining WAPF will benefit you because the Wise

Traditions publication alone is solid meat, cover to cover. Then you have all

the ads in the back too. $40 per year is a small price to pay for this

wonderfully resourceful quarterly. It's worth much more than $40 in information

you'd have a hard time finding elsewhere. They cite all their sources for

articles.

That $40 helps keep the lights on at the headquarters. Research, education,

activism. All on YOUR behalf. They are a HUGE benefit to my knowledge base and

the health of my family. Can you put a price on your family's health. Even on

my meager budget I make this subscription a priority. I OWE WAPF so much. I

give them extra when I can. When I first started on my WAPF journey, there was

no local chapter. I educated myself through their works, collected information,

found people of likemind, and now we are 30-35 strong at our monthly meetings

and 80 on our online group.

Comparing music concerts to WAPF is to compare apples to oranges. Music is

music, entertainment. WAPF is cutting edge, EDUCATION in biology, physiology,

botany, natural health, history and much more, ALL FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY'S

HEALTH. Please don't take their work for granted. Just think where we'd be if

they had to fold due to lack of funding. I pinch pennies elsewhere to be able

to maintain my membership, attend their seminars and send in extra when I can.

WAPF activism through the news, legislation and education projects benefits you

and me in ways you'd never think of. They put out information to educate the

public on GE hazards, soy hazards, benefits of raw foods, traditional foods,

whole foods and how all of these affect our health and our planet, one way or

another.

I support WAPF because they work on my behalf. They deserve our support.

[Guest guest]

1. you do not need to be a member of WAPF (or join a local chapter) in order to

attend

local meetings. If you do, then they are not following Sally's guidelines. All

meetings are

free and open to the public.

2. you can purchase the shopping guide for $1 from www.westonaprice.org It

contains

general guidelines and specific brand names by food category. It is pocket size

and 39

pages. I don't know if the brands are for the whole world. I am in the US.

3. it sounds like the local shopping guide is different from the WAPF shopping

guide. the

local one would be best to have. the $2 probably covers their cost of putting it

together

and printing it. We do not have a local guide but we have a website with sources

listed on

it for our area.

The shopping guide is USA I think, and costs $1 from headquarters..

You can also get the audio from Sally's big presentation for $50 or $47

download from the last conference.

While I think it's not indispensable if one reads NT and NAPD, it is helpful

and inspiring.

I don't know about hearing Sally in person (haven't ever had the opportunity

myself) but I can speak to joining WAPF for $40 a year. It is *so* worth the

money to get the quarterly journals, Wise Traditions. I can't say enough at

how I devour them every time they come in the mail!! Even if I never am able

to hear anyone in person or attend the conferences, the journals are worth

every penny of that $40.

That being said, I think I would jump at an opportunity to hear her in

person, if I could afford the cost. It would be so neat!! Chrissie

The DVD of Sally's basic presentation (described below) was shot at

the 2006 WAPF conference. You can watch the first 9 minutes by

clicking on the link, and get an idea if it is compelling for you.

I was blown away by the conference, not only because of her

presentation but because of the other people, fabulous food and sodas,

exhibitions of the vendors, etc. I later purchased the 3-set DVD

(about $70), and learn something new everytime I have it on. I

recommend both going in person if you have the chance AND having the

DVD as a backup.

As to the costs - have you priced chemo lately?

Thank you very much for the link. Discussion or books

about healthy food and about anthropological

applications are always compelling for me. Maybe for

that reason alone I should go - I would get such

enjoyment out of a learning opportunity like this. I

could easily watch this kind of presentation for 6

hours, and still want more.

I'm not anticipating much - my local WAPF group is

very small and don't seem to be very active at all.

They are not hosting her presentation (it's part of a

Holistic Nutrition Conference), so I don't even know

who I'll happen to sit next to.

BUT, that might be even more of a reason for me to

attend. If I will not get the support and motivation I

need from a local group, then at least the

presentation can inspire me.

> As to the costs - have you priced chemo lately?

Fortunately I'm in Canada - so health care is free.

But I get your point.

Thanks for the encouragement. It's good to hear from

someone who found it to be such a fabulous experience.

It would only make sense for me to go

Even if Canada's health care system pays for treatment, is it really

free? The costs are astronomical to someone, ultimately to each tax

payer presumably. Cancer prevention is the only way to stop this

scourge, which I fear will sooner or later bankrupt all systems.

This must be it. Wow! All this for just $85? It's a bargain! If only

I weren't so far away. I'll bet everyone knows of someone who

suffers from " mental disorder " who could be helped with nutrition.

The sheer numbers of prescriptions for Paxil, Zoloft, etc. tells us

this. It also always bugs me that when horrible things happen (like

teens with shooting sprees), the press barely covers the fact that

most of them are on these suicide-invoking drugs.

Please do share what you learn. Cheers! Joan

The Canadian Holistic Nutrition Conference-Feeding Minds: Mental

Health & Nutrition Gala Evening

Unraveling the Mystery of Mental Illness: Evidence from Nutrition

Research featuring Margo Kidder

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 25, 2008) -

ATTENTION FOOD and HEALTHCARE EDITORS

The Canadian Holistic Nutrition Conference announced today Feeding

Minds: Mental Health & Nutrition Gala Reception to be held on April

25, 2008 from 6:30 to 10:30 pm at The CNIB Centre, 1929 Bayview

Avenue, Toronto.

Recent statistics provided by Colombia University indicate that

bipolar disorder has become a veritable epidemic. Some psychiatrists

suspect that under broad definitions, childhood bipolar disorder may

be more prevalent than autism - affecting between one and two

percent of all children. What has led to this upsurge? Are there

answers to this in our current lifestyle?

Mental health has become a bigger burden to the health care system

than cancer and heart disease. Forty years of published research has

shown most mental illness is related to nutritional imbalances and

deficiencies, and nutrition is the key to mental health.

Benedict Carey, in his New York Time's article entitled Bipolar

Illness Soars As A Diagnosis for the Young " writes " children's

treatments almost always included medications. " What healthier, non-

toxic, treatments are available?

Join us on April 25th for a Gala Evening featuring Margot Kidder as

she recounts her triumph with bipolar disorder using vitamin,

minerals and nutrition. lie Moscoe, Registered Holistic

Nutritionist, will present the latest research on nutrition

breakthroughs for mental illness.

Feast on a delicious organic whole food menu designed by Chef

Hoyer. Enjoy local organic and/or natural local wine and beer

tasting (yes, they have health benefits too!). Visit with thirty

I wish it was just $85. It's only the gala reception

with Margot Kidder that's $85.

The full conference is $360.

The Sally Fallon presentation is $125.

To hear the rest of the speakers is an added $150.

oohhhh... that would be cost-prohibitive for me. I wonder if your

local chapter has DVDs that you could view? That might hold you over

while you save pennies to attend the WAPF conference in San Francisco

this year?

San Francisco?

Unless my Fairy Godmother is going to pay the $1100 it

would cost me in just airfare and hotel alone, I think

I'd better just stick to my $125 Sally Fallon

presentation here at home.
