Warm fruit with butter and cinnamon. YUM!<br /><br />Of course, I'm not mentioning any names, but 2 out of 4 of them also wish you'd kept your mouth shut. :)<br /><br />I'm just saying. ;)<br /><br />Kessie, Another wonderful solution to allergies is the GAPS diet. It is a shorter-term dietary protocol (maybe a year to three years) that most find eliminates the alleriges altogether and then allows you to not be picky about food anymore. Google it and you'll find there is a wealth of information about it. :)Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158351081970744810.post-11209728304625285922011-09-09T20:59:42.548-07:002011-09-09T20:59:42.548-07:00Brandy, all of the Weston A price literature says ...Brandy, all of the Weston A price literature says "a generous amount". I use butter very liberally, as long as it is of the highest quality I can financially manage. Kerrygold is great and Lassens has a pastured seasonal organic butter right now that is amazingly deep yellow in color and hih in CLA and Activator X. That said, I would use A tablespoon per cup. It may seem like a lot, but not all of it is actually consumed. And you just eat less when it is that satiating. <br /><br />Kara, thanks for weighing in! We don't have to deal with asthma, praise God, but i would not try to "cure" a life-threatening illness with my dimwitted self. I like to research, but I'm no expert. I like the notion of preventing degenerative disease with nutrition. I miss you!<br /><br />Kessie, sorry about Alex! Have you ever been to "the witch doctor"?.. She is actually this amazing naturopath, and loves the Lord to boot! Email me if you want about her. We have had allergies cleared, and Brandy has had some near-miraculous experiences with her!<br /><br />Meg, I one of the things I love about your blog are you nutritious and yummy recipes! I get lots of inspiration from your kitchen, sister!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038172280482818723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158351081970744810.post-16659808896908914822011-09-06T15:19:57.686-07:002011-09-06T15:19:57.686-07:00Love that you're doing these posts =)Love that you're doing these posts =)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569212635339660577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158351081970744810.post-44063430448154810662011-09-04T22:07:39.140-07:002011-09-04T22:07:39.140-07:00I have heard that butter (as well as olive oil, et...I have heard that butter (as well as olive oil, etc) is way better then "fake" fats....our bodies know how to process them! <br />Wheat causes a slew of problems and having Celiacs, I am hearing that more people struggle with it or other intolerences...honestly, I have a hunch that it has more to do with our grains and other foods being SO processed and refined. <br />As for fruits being bad, I don't buy that...anything in excess is not good. but natural sugars are WAY better than fake sugar but they must all be eaten with a balanced diet of proteins and starches. I believe a balanced diet of foods that still look like their natural state is key.<br /><br />All that said, I have a 8 yr old with asthma & I would never try to treat him with food first. His meds have saved his life. We choose to live where the air is HORRIBLE!!! Our pediatrition is amazing but also conservative. I seek out doctors for myself that I agree with, ones that don't pressure me to do anything I don't agree with. I try to be as healthy as I can be but trust that God gave the smarts to some people and that they can be very helpful.Kara Haushalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532670559139223920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158351081970744810.post-60775695184442604242011-09-02T16:02:44.550-07:002011-09-02T16:02:44.550-07:00Jen, I'm curious.

My kids would love it if I did this more often...Brandy Vencelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945305890488681685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158351081970744810.post-38998903533403563722011-09-01T10:13:31.132-07:002011-09-01T10:13:31.132-07:00Ben and I talk about this ALL the time. We're ...Ben and I talk about this ALL the time. We're so into food over drugs/doctors (although sometimes he thinks I'm a little cooky). I've cut out just about all junk food, and use butter, lard, olive oil, etc. No shortening or processed anything (well, aside from refined sugar). Really purged the house of soy products. And you know what? We haven't been sick in over a year. This is especially weird for Ben, since he was ALWAYS sick. He's convinced it's from my trying to cut out all the crap.<br /><br />I've had a serious mistrust for doctors my entire life. My mother practically worships them, but hey, they never seem to make her better. Go figure. She's always on a medication for something. I was shuffled in and out of doctors my entire young childhood and I HATE doctors.

(I'm pretty sure he does, I'm still in the process of giving certain foods and withholding others to make sure it's actually wheat.) The trouble is, his only symptom is a cough, so it's taken me a while to isolate the cause.<br /><br />The trouble is, reading about what doctors do for small children with coughs, is either to give them cough syrup, or decide that it's asthma. I'm developing a distrust similar to yours.<br /><br />Although the idea of eating cooked fruit with butter is AWESOME.

I will be praying God will restore your health, however He chooses to do it! So many people count on you ;)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038172280482818723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9158351081970744810.post-91353803659509803672011-09-01T09:06:01.991-07:002011-09-01T09:06:01.991-07:00I am open to all kinds of ideas the butter one I h...I am open to all kinds of ideas the butter one I had not heard before. <br />I am currently on my third day of no wheat. I am using a bit of brown rice though. I have spent the summer getting sicker and sicker. Finally on Monday, I decided no wheat, My sneezing stopped, my eyes stopped running I could take deep breaths again and I could walk my laps again and do all of my housework. The depression is gone too. <br />I know that using food to heal is way safer than medication. I do think the medical community is more concerned about the bottom dollar than the health of the patient. <br />I am now in the process of getting off coffee and caffeine. <br />I think there is so much we can just do to heal our bodies if we just pay attention to the symptoms. Not to mention know where to look. <br />I am enjoying your posts on nutrition very much.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.com
