prenatal vitamins
written by Mindy Spradlin, Mar 10 2010
I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and wonder if I follow this, do I need to take prenatal vitamins? I am afraid I'll end up with too much of certain vitamins if I do both prenatal and a high nutrient diet. However, I really don't like fish (especially with this pregnancy) so I doubt I'll be eating a lot of that, but I will be taking the BLUE ICE Royal™ Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend. Thanks for you help!

Hi Angie, there are plenty of ways of getting calcium. Many of the healthy communities that Weston A Price studied did not have any dairy in their diets at all. Good sources include properly made bone stock, tinned fish (the bones are soft enough to eat), green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds. There's a book called Calciyum. It's written for vegans, which does go against WAP's findings, but it lists lots of dairy free sources of calcium. Just make sure you have a good sized serving of something rich in calcium every day. And remember the old saying "Where do you think the cow got the calcium from?"

I have been following the WAPF diet for the past two years. I just found out I am pregnant, but I also found out I am allergic to dairy. (Delayed sensitivity - IgG) What is the best way to get my calcium while pregnant, or should I just drink the milk anyway? I am worried that since I have a sensitivity to milk, it might compromise my (and my baby's) health if I continue drinking it.
