Miscellaneous QuestionsQ. What is the cause of bird flu and what can we do to protect ourselves? A. We don't really have any answers although my guess is overcrowding in industrial bird facilities (yes, they have these in Asia also). The best protection is our diet, especially fermented foods like sauerkraut, and cod liver oil. Q. I was sad and discouraged to learn Stephen Byrnes died so young, even on this diet. A. Stephen Byrnes had been under enormous stress for at least three years, including being hounded by the Hawaiian Department of Health and being cheated out of a lot of money. Also, Stephen was a very excitable person. Plus, we never will know just how good he was about following our dietary principles. Constant stress can do terrible things to a person, even one on the best of diets. Q. Where can I find the statement on the Japanese finding statin drugs to be toxic? A. Coronary Heart Disease Q. I am not sure what is meant by this sentence on your site: "These primitives with their fine bodies, homogeneous reproduction..." A. Another way that Price expressed this (and yes, these are his words) was that in primitive societies, all the men looked like brothers and all the women looked like sisters, even if they were not related. This is because the diet supported the full expression of the genetic potential. Q. My child has an underdeveloped face, can diet change that? A. It is not clear how much can be done with diet alone; we recommend orthodontics to widen the palate. However with a good diet, you can reverse this in the next generation, and also ensure that your child has a healthy life, in spite of the underdeveloped face. Q: On your website, Krispin Sullivan suggests that any vitamin D supplementation be accompanied by testing blood levels of D. This seems contrary to WAPF. Should I be concerned about vitamin D toxicity? A: We do not agree with Krispin on this. See the clarification here. We will be addressing the issue of Vitamin D toxicity in the Fall 2006 issue of Wise Traditions. Q: I have recently read an article claiming that Native Americans ate only plant foods and began eating game with the coming of white settlers. Please comment. A: The Native Americans cultivated many plant foods, but to claim that the eating of game came with the advent of the white settlers is ridiculous. They ate everything available to them--not only plant foods but fish, shellfish, birds, reptiles, eggs and mammals. When they had little animal food, they had many health problems. See our article Guts and Grease: The Diet of Native Americans. Q: In his book The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book, Dr. Roy Laver Swank claims that saturated fats cause MS. Please comment. A: Dr. Swank is absolutely wrong about saturated fats. They are very important for general health, especially the health of the nervous system. We have just received an interesting article by Mark Purdey on the causes of MS. He speculates that one factor is heavy metals, especially barium, in the absence of calcium, magnesium and sulphur. Here is the abstract. (Barium taken before abdominal x-rays is a real threat.) http://www.medical-hypotheses.com/article/S0306-9877(04)00022-2/abstract Q: How do I find William Douglass’ book, The Milk Book? A: There are several versions: The Milk Book: The Milk of Human Kindness is not Pasteurized – Last Laugh Publisher, 1985. It was also published under that name by Second Opinion Publishers, Atlanta, 1985. Then Rhino Publisher using an ISBN 996263654X. Finally, it was published under the title, The Milk Book: How Science is Destroying Nature’s Most Perfect Food, ISBN 1885236042 and on www.bookfinder.com. Q:I’m always concerned about the ill effects of mold or fungi since these are said to be a detriment to health. If I see any mold in fermented foods should I discard it? Q. I received an email from you about the House Bill 2974 on the proposed changes to our food supply. Please comment on the following snopes article addressing your email: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/organic.asp A. The key points are: 1) The alert deals with a different bill than the snopes article. The alert is about HR 2749, not HR 875 There was a lot of inaccurate information circulating the internet about HR 875. But this is a different bill, and the alert was written by the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund after analysis of the bill by several attorneys. You can read their full analysis, which includes references to the specific provisions of the bill, at Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 // http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/news/news-15june2009.htm. In fact, the snopes article on HR 875 identified the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund as a good source for understanding how the bill could impact small farmers. This new bill, HR 2749, poses very significant problems for our small farmers and local food processors. It should not be dismissed simply because some individuals circulated inaccurate information about a different bill earlier this year." Q. Was Weston Price a research director for the ADA? A. Price was head of research for the National Dental Association, which was eclipsed by the ADA when it was formed. ADA promoted fluoride and amalgams and the NDA refused to do this. Q. We have well water which I like because it has good minerals and no fluoride added. However, we use a water softener because we were told that the well water has too many minerals that will clog up the pipes. I'm not sure that softened water is good to drink? What do you think? A. We are not experts on water, but generally it is better to drink water containing minerals, especially magnesium. Unless there are some toxic minerals that can be toxic in high amounts, like manganese, I would think the softener to be unnecessary (although nice for washing hair and clothes). Q. Is kombucha tea any more nutritious or medicinal when it is allowed to work until it is tart compared to stopping it when it is still slightly sweet? Is there more remaining sugar in it when it is a bit sweet rather than tart? Also, does the caloric content change as a result?
A. Yes, the more tart, the more nutritious, the more beneficial organic acids. If it is still sweet, that means there is some remaining sugar. The caloric count goes down; eventually the final product has about the same calories as vinegar. A. This is a huge subject but we do discuss it in the article The Right Price, on our website. There is no doubt that there are different metabolic types, but my gripe with the MT folks is that they pretend to determine your MT with a simple question and answer, and then they give these different diets, all of which are bad diets. They evoke the name of Weston Price without any understanding of his findings--none of the MT diets (Wolcott) are WAPF-friendly, they do not contain sufficient fat-soluble activators. You can have a high carb diet and a low carb diet both conforming to Price's principles, but the MT folks do not understand the principles. In the West, given our food preferences, it is easier to apply the WAPF principles with a high-fat, low-carb diet that includes plenty of nutrient-dense animal foods.
In India, they are not really vegetarians because the food is not sterile and there are huge amounts of insect parts and insect feces--very rich in B12--in the food--to look at it with a microscope is very revealing. If they try to follow the same diet in the West, where the food is fumigated and sterilized, they get into trouble. And people in India are likely to be of a different "metabolic type." In India, they are not obligate carnivores as a Native American would be, so they can make EPA and DHA out of the 18-carbon parent omega-3 fatty acids. (See Tripping Lightly Down the Prostglandin Pathways, on the website.) Remember also they do consume ghee and fermented dairy.
In Asia, they never consumed soy in large amounts until the American processors went over there--soy is about 1% of calories in the traditional Asian diet. And they certainly are not vegetarians. 65% of calories in the Japanese diet comes from fish and in China, 65% of calories comes from pork. There are lots of lies going around about the Asian diet--like the lie that the people of Okanawa don't eat much animal food. They eat pork and fish daily, and they cook in lard. Q. What is a source for azomite? A. wheatgrasskits.com (866) 948.4727 Q. What is your opinion of colloidal silver for infections? A. It might be OK to use the colloidal silver in emergencies, but people who use it all the time risk turning green literally and permanently. Silver can cause toxic effects. Better to use cod liver oil to fight against infections! Some experts on metal toxicity even warn against using a silver spoon. Q. I just read in Nourishing Traditions that "Sprouting inactivates aflatoxins, potent carcinogens found in grains." Would you explain what aflatoxins are? Comments (4)

I would like to buy some new pots & pans. Please offer your latest advice on the best, 'safe' materials, as it seems quite difficult to purchase anything of good quality that does not contain aluminum. Do you think that aluminum can leach out even when it is tri-clad with SS? Also, what is your opinion of the new ?PFOA free non-stick?
Thank you.
Mineral content of Azomite?
written by Kirsten Evans, Jan 07 2011
I can't seem to find mineral content, even approximate, of the Azomite I've been taking the last couple years. I'd really like to know as I don't want too much of anything when I combine it with my raw daily multi. Does anyone have a source for the nutrition content?

Should a person get the pork completely out of their diet and start drinking whey or other fermented products made from Live Milk, and of course get the nasty bottom feeders such as shrimp lobster and crab which feed mainly on human waste out of their diet then you would see the most results.
And for people with dental problems and sinus issues at the same time, it's most likely that you have mrsa or at least the sa part living in your nose, where it mainly resides in about 80% of the population's noses. Eucalyptus, RC, and especially Thebes oils are the way to go to get these out of the nasal passages and start your way to healthy gums. A strong salt water solution gargled or used in a water pick or flushing device daily along with the essential oils (ever wonder why they called them essential?) is the way to go, and if you study what YaHWeH says to eat and trust that the one who made you knows what you are to eat if you want to live healthy, you will find that it is almost impossible to find a food that doesn't contain Pig, this like the above part about the FDA is another clue that you would be wise to keep in the forefront of your mind.
Sugar and Salt were made by the creator, and if you don't understand how absolutely mandatorily essential Salt is in the microbiology of the inner cellular workings, then go to a book store and buy a biology book and read about the sodium pump which is the mechanism used to move food into and waste products out of the cell. Without it you will die Now, Salt is the one thing you cannot live without. Want to kill yourself? Remove the salt completely from your diet and see how long it takes before you feel the effects, on the other hand, if a doctor told you to remove the sodium, you know that doctor is an idiot, completely brainwashed by the system who's motto is " a patient cured is a patient lost".
And remember that the hospital is where the super-bugs come from, and the most dangerous place in the world. Doctors and pharmacists (sorcery of revelation) kill more people than all other forms of death combined every year, and just look at the ridiculous things they say every day. Lose the doctor and do yourself a favor, and live longer. The longest living people in the world have one thing in common, they all drink Whey.
May YaHWeH bless your understanding and give you a long and abundantly lived life.
