I think it is just going back to the way God intended us to eat before man messed our food up. God knows best, He created us so He must know what works best in our bodies and what our bodies need. I stick to this way of eating and I feel great compared to before- I have gotten over dry skin, bad sinuses, headaches, and I always have energy now and I always feel great. My family and I rarly get sick.

I don't think it putting religion into your eating, but more of putting God's wisdom into your eating and I put God's wisdom into every area of my life, so why not nutrition too. He wants to be part of every area of out life, even the small things.

I am just going to start this diet on Friday, with my hubby.

For the past year or two, I have been reading and sometimes using Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. Jordan Rubin uses quite a number of her recipes -- the fermented foods, raw butter, etc. are in her book, as well as in the MD. It is most interesting and teaches old ways of preparing foods.

I have been gathering up sources for pasture-fed beef, free-range chickens and eggs, raw honey, etc., etc. I fact, I was given the book at one of the pasture-fed beef farms where I bought some beef. I only completely read it recently and realized that all of these foods which I have been gathering up are included in this way of eating, so I figured that that must be the reason why I have been able to find them all -- so that I could use them to eat healthfully and simply.

I like the way that Jordan lays out the program. He also recommends his supplements (and others as well, I must say) -- his have the HSO -- Homeostatic Soil Organisms in them -- key to their success. Although I would like to avoid the expense of supplements, I am going to consume these so that I get the full benefit of the program. In time, I hope to replace them with the fermented and cultured foods.

I believe that the Bible was given as a guide for the people on Earth but it has been manipulated quite a bit. I don't know much about the Old Testament and hope that it has not been fiddled with quite so much as the New Testament. However, the proof will be in the pudding -- and I hope that it is yummy! Haha!

Just to see a young man recover the way that Jordan has is very inspiring. People who suffer greatly and who find a way back to health offer interesting ways to health for others.

We just want to lose some weight and get back to 'feeling like ourselves' -- and for me to get back on track in the kitchen!

I hope that you find lots of people who can give you information as to their success on this way of eating. I'll drop a note here every now and then on our progress.
