Every Kind Of "Food As Medicine" 10 y
Properties and Classifications of Herbs; Herbal Glossary
I’m more inspired with including herbs as part of my food as medicine. I’ve taken a liking to some ”nervine herbs”. ”Nervine Herbs are often used to heal and soothe the nervous system, and often affect the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems as well. They are often used in teas or in encapsulated form.
Properties of Nervine herbs include analgesic, antipyretic, antiasthmatic, antibiotic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, sedative, and stomachic.
Some examples of Nervines include chamomile, crampbark, dong quai, ginger, hops, lobelie, scullcap, valerian, catnip, lady ... read more Nourishing Traditions Diet & Cancer 10 y
The end of "the 30-year plus war on cancer" is in sight now!
November 7, 2014 - This blog-writer wholly endorses the following diet that Dr. Cowan has recommended to his patients with cancer. It is a low-carbohydrate, high fat, medium protein diet.
(Also read ”The Fourfold Path to Healing” by Thomas S. Cowan, MD, Sally Fallon and Jaimen McMillan.)
Included:
”Meats – beef, fish, fowl, shellfish, liver, sweetbreads, heart, kidney, brain and other organ meats. Bacon and ham are ok, IF they have no nitrates, sulphites or sweeteners.
Bone broths (made according to Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon). Ideally, these should be served with e ... read more What Causes Heart Attacks? 10 y

A Sugar-Free Half Century -
What would the world be like if we didn’t become so addicted to sugar over the past half century? If allopathic medicine, which claims to be scientifically-based, had listened to scientists 50 years ago about the dangers of sugar, we could be living in a totally different world. After all, the FDA’s given mandate is to ensure the safety of our nation’s food supply. And if sugar is not safe, shouldn’t the FDA have warned us about that scienti ... read more Got Sufficient Magnesium? 10 y

June 24, 2018 - ”Drug Testing for Hypertension Patients” By: Carolyn Dean MD ND -
A recent Medscape article made me wonder if doctors know they are being cast in the role of Big Brother for drug companies. The article is titled “Drug Test Spurs Frank Talk Between Hypertension Patients and Doctors.”[8]
It seems that a simple urine test will be able to tell your doctor whether or not you are taking your BP meds. And then what? You’ll probably get a lecture that you are being irresponsible because you could die without these drugs. Of course the doctor doesn’t know that for a fact but ... read more Healing "Leaky Gut", One Bite At A Time 10 y
".. all autoimmune diseases have one thing in common – intestinal permeability"
In 2014 I learned that my Human Design teacher had been suffering from ”the progressive form of Multiple Sclerosis”. On October 24th (the day my beloved sister crossed the threshold) my ”teacher” replied to my message in which I had said: ”As soon as I read: ’the progressive form of Multiple Sclerosis’ I switched into research mode and started this blog: ”MS and the New Medicine!”[1]
My teacher replied: ”I am onto Wahl’s Protocol”.
I then jumped right into learning about ”Wahl’s” and by and large appreciate virtually everything I’ve read so far (with very few exceptions)[2].

Many herbs offer both culinary and medicinal applications including hop flowers.
”Hops flowers are used not only as a flavoring agent in beer and ale (as are many other types of bulk herbs), but as a preservative as well; the popular ”India Pale Ale” produced by many regional microbreweries had its origins in the early 19th Century when the old British Empire was at its height. In the days before refrigeration, most traditional English ales could not survive the six-month voyage from London to India aboard clipper ships; therefore, ale destined for outlying British territories contained an extra measure of hop flowers as a preservative.”:

A nutrient-dense diet is the best support for the gut-health connection.
Google this phrase and you will get ”About 48,000 results”! Do ya think there might be some truth to that?
If so then there is a long list of real health practitoners who agree and who have built both their health and their health practice of this premise. I believe that Weston A. Price is to be included among these ”real health” practitioners as well as Bernard Jensen and many more.
If you have this kind of health foundation then I am sincerely happy for you! If not and if you want the ”birthright” of good health then I highly recommend two books: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration ... read more Nourishing Tempura 10 y
Chef Jemichel on a tempura trail!
Something has been inspiring me recently to think about tempura. (I’m sure it at least includes my favorable memories of enjoying both vegetable and other forms of well made tempura.) I’m inspired to take a most nourishing/traditional approach on an otherwise pretty good food item. The key differences (in my thinking) would be to use sprouted flour and fry the tempura in either goose or duck fat (or possibly lard or tallow). So I contacted my favorite sprouted flour source and our correspondence now follows here:

If "health is your greatest wealth" then investing in the "bank" of your immunity is where you can get to be wealthy!
Essentially you want to rebuild your immune system, however don’t wait until you are hit with a viral infection before you do that! Choose the build your immunity now!
Following is the link to What Dr. Brownstein suggests and IMO that can be best summed up as ”a nutrient-dense diet”, just like is advocated by the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) for over fifteen years (since it’s inception in 1999. I prepared the first Sunday brunch for the WAPF board members and their spouses in Washington DC that Autumn.)
I most highly recommend Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon.

Leading scientist of Pastueur's day discovers how health begins in the gut and then begins drinking raw soured milk for the gut health benefits!
Élie Metchnikoff (1845 – 1916 a most distinguished Russian biologist, zoologist and protozoologist, best known for his pioneering research into the immune system) drank sour milk every day based on this theory.
”Mechnikov also developed a theory that aging is caused by toxic bacteria in the gut and that lactic acid could prolong life. Based on this theory, he drank sour milk every day. He wrote three books: Immunity in Infectious Diseases, The Nature of Man, and The Prolongation of Life: Optimistic Studies, the last of which, along with Metchnikoff’s studies into the potential life-leng ... read more Meet The Herd 10 y

Traditional wisdom is universally found within each of the cultures and therfore there are many ancient ”wise traditions”. One of the oldest is ayurveda. I am the most blessed to have a new housemate who is connected with this traditional wisdom stream! In fact this graduate philosophy student just gifted me with several of his connections in ayurveda. The first one is his personal health practitioner whom I am beginning to be introduced to by way of the practitioner’s writings.

This "stone soup" is true "food as medicine"!
“In the fifteenth century, a recipe for a restaurant(1) began by instructing that a freshly killed capon(2) be cooked in an alchemist’s glass kettle with sixty gold ducats(3), and noted that the cook might supplement the gold pieces with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, jaspers, or ‘any other good and virtuous precious stones the doctor may order’. The seventeenth and eighteenth century dictionaries … omitted the gems from the recipe but still defined a restaurant as a semi-medicinal preparation …”(4)
