Guest guest Posted June 17, 2001 Report Share Posted June 17, 2001 Hi, I'm a 24 year old software engineer from Chicago who's pretty athletic and loves to cook and bake. I stumbled upon Nourishing Traditions from two different paths. One is that I was reading some about sustainable agriculture and talking to the people at a biodynamic CSA that I'm a member of. I started looking into biodynamics and tripped over the name Trauger Groh. And then I eventually found the WAPF web-site. At the same time I was trying to understand some of the sports-nutrition things that I'd been reading on the web, and eventually hit WAP from that perspective too. I confess to being a bit of skeptic on some of Fallon (and Enig's) ideas, but I've been really intrigued by the parts about the differences between modern and " traditional " food processing and preservation techniques. So, mostly, I've been trying to incorporate the techniques discussed in Nourishing Traditions into my cooking repetoire at the same time as I read cookbooks about " authentic " cooking (mostly Middle Eastern and Indian, although I'm trying to understand how to cook East Asian food, but I'm not doing to well). This has been really interesting because I've learned a lot about various cooking traditions that you can't ever find in cookbooks. Anyways, I'm glad to have found this group. It should be interesting to see what other people are doing and how they've incorporated Fallon's insights into their cooking (and living) Soren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2002 Report Share Posted January 18, 2002 Start by looking up http://www.doh.wa.gov/ehp/oehas/mold.html " Is Indoor Mold Contamination a Threat to Health? " , by Harriet M. Ammann, Ph.D., D.A.B.T., Senior Toxicologist for Washington State Department of Health, Olympia, Washington. For an older reference, read Leviticus chapter 14, and remember that the word plague or leprosy used to describe a house is the same mold you have. It was recognized as a problem 3000 years ago. Hopefully you can convince your husband and your doctor that you are on to a very real problem. Ask your husband if you and he felt better when you were away from home on vacation? Maybe that will convince him you might be right. Mold may not be the cause of all your problems, but the situation you describe certainly suggests mold is a major factor. And since many molds are immunosuppressants, other illnesses can take this opportunity to make you sick. You mention that your husband is tearing out icky black drywall. Hopefully he is at least wearing a HEPA filter mask, and washing his hands and face quite often. He should also be spraying a little dilute Clorox on everything and bagging it in heavy platic before hauling it through the house to prevent spreading the mold spores whereve they haven't already gotten. Mold removal can make an already bad situation worse if not done right.

I have been " sick " for two years and have had severe neurological symptoms for the past year, along with 'growing' stuff on my head-neck-back, chronic fatigue, burning eyes and a general not feeling good along with a head that feels numb with intense pressure. It's not really a headache but I suppose you could call it that. My doctors keep telling me nothing is wrong with me, but of course I know different. Our roof has been leaking for about 3 years and my son fixed two roofs on the lower level and replaced the insulation and drywall. I had a mold test taken by sample method that showed the whole gambit of allergens along with mycotoxins 'penicillum, alternaria, fusanium, trichoderma and stachbotrys' and aspergillus as a pathogen. This was from a test taken before the 2 roof repairs, I am waiting for the results of another sample test taken after the repairs but visually they looked the same or perhaps worse. We had another room that leaked in our second story, also for 3 or more years. My husband is tearing out the icky black drywall from that ceiling and has found that the boards within are rotting. I live in Michigan. Could anyone tell me where I could find information that I could take to my doctor and show to my husband who doesn't believe the extent of the problem? By the way, he has been experiencing upper respiratory symptoms off and on and I am quite worried about him also. Thank you for any help anyone could give me. This is a wonderful group and I thank God that I found it. ~~~hugs~~~ from Darlene _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 ----- Original Message ----- From: Kathleen<mailto:KathleenPL@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 4:28 PM Subject: My Intro I switched doctors about a month ago. He did a liver panel and my alkaline was 134 which is just a little high. The norm is 42 to 126. One reason for high alkalines is clogged biliary ducts. Two years ago it was normal. Don't put too much stock in " norms " , they are just that, and few people are normal. I had no more pain since the Vioxx incident until about a week ago. I don't know if it is the power of suggestion from the high alkalines reading or if I'm developing stones, but the pain is there sometimes. I will go for a follow-up with the doctor in a couple of weeks, but would like to do all I can in the meantime. I am taking lecithin again and that helps a lot. I have been pain free since Saturday night. I haven't taken it regularly because I can't remember to take it until I have pain. Taking it before pain may keep you from having pain. Put it somewhere somehow that you have to avoid it not to take it. Lori, you mentioned ground flax seed. Is this the same as milled flax seed? I just recently purchased it in an effort to increase my essential fatty acid intake. This was before the gall bladder pain. I don't know how to use it. Any suggestions? Always grind it yourself. Flax will oxidize and go rancid quickly after the kernel is violated. Try it in your steel cut Irish oats (yum). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Dave and Lori, Can you tell a difference in how you feel after taking ground flax seeds for a while?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Kathleen, I'm still at the beginning stages of doing the flax seed so time will tell.
