Thank you. I too find it definitely challenging. Its really hard to find pure organic vegetables and where are you going to find meat from grass fed cows... But I will try my best to eat properly from now on.

Hugs,

The 'mind your mitochondria' clip has recently been mentioned on a couple of other Yahoo sites and I thought also on this one.

Pretty amazing - and brilliant that the lady concerned is a doctor!

I think it would be well worth a try. It certainly does not go against anything in the Weston Price web site (which is currently one of my favourite web sites)

From the little I know, some of the effectiveness may have to do with the minimisation of all omega 6 oils. The standard modern diet is very heavy in omega 6 and S Christie stated that we need omega 6 to omega 3 ratios to be close to 1:1 and ours is usually closer to 50:1 (!).

The more out of kilter that ratio, the worse the inflammation.

I recently saw -but cannot remember where - that we should aim for a daily maximum of 6.7g omega 6 and 1g omega 3 oil.

The heaviest contributors to our imbalance are likely the refined (degraded) vegetable oils and margarine, now also known as trans fatty acids. Close behind would be the processed foods followed by animal protein foods from animals that have not been fed the right diet for their species and breed. (meat, dairy and poultry)

BUT Dr Wahl's approach goes further. She worked out what nutrients were needed then investigated ways of getting then from real foods rather than supplements.

Mind you, I would find eating the volumes required somewhat challenging! I have no doubts that even the attempt to follow the plan would ensure I did not eat many grains or non organic animal sourced foods.
