>>But that's sort of tautological-- it's necessary to have personal

experience of something to know what it's like to personally

experience it.

>>Otherwise, the notion fails. In all other cases the personal

experience is not necessary to ascertain the relevant information.

But personal experience is helpful in understanding that judgment is

inapproriate. I was highly judgmental of women who pursued medicalized birth

until I gave birth - even though my own experience was still as natural as I

could make it and I had a physically very easy birth. If you experience it, you

realize how really *huge* it is and how much is involved and how difficult it

might be for individual women to overcome prejudice and misinformation,

especially if they are deeply invested in allopathy. The most telling thing for

me is that experienced lactivists I know are considerably less judging of women

who formula feed than are newbies. This is not to say they suffer fools wisely,

but they understand the challenge, that's it's not simply a matter of realizing

that breast is better. Real mothers do many things that are not best for their

children because the cost to themselves is too high. There's nothing

intrinsically wrong with the idea of balancing those needs. So women's

perceptions of the cost vs. the benefit is crucial. There's a lot of

misinformation about the benefits, and women who try to breastfeed are

essentially front-loading all the costs in a painful way at a sensitive time,

generally without much support. It's really not surprising to me that women

give up, or see other women's struggles and don't even try. There really aren't

enough examples out there of women who get past the first few weeks and sail

along for a year or more, taking it easy with no bottles to sterilize.

And: schwing! is in wide usage courtesy of Wayne and Garth. Originally

referred to attractive women, the chance of meeting them, their presence on the

show, etc., but soon applied to money, sweet cars, etc.

How fast do you think WAPF works? We've only had raw milk and grassfed beef a

week, and, uh, things went well this morning. My husband is diabetic, so my

ears are wide open on anything that will keep ED in the far future.

Mati,

I understand on the judgmentalism.

I don't know how long it would take any given person to get well on a

WAPish diet. It depends on the quality of food, which varies widely

even within grass-fed/raw/unrefined/traditionally processed, and the

person's own constitution, and health history.

Yes, I know the shwing from Wayne and Garth, but I don't hear it a

lot, and have never heard it extend beyond its erectile implications.

I'd be more likely to hear " that's tight " or something like that to

refer to something about which one would like to express excitatory

approval, and I'm not actually familiar with any slang pertaining

specifically to the *receipt* of money. I know slang for money

itself-- like " dough " or " paper " -- but not for its acquisition.

But slang can vary widely on a regional basis.

And then there's the racial migration effect.

Mati,

You or DH might want to read either the Schwarzbein Principle or The

Nutrition Solution: A Guide to Your Metabolic Type and NT'ize the diabetes

diet from either.

Have had some new experiences with my Mom's diabetes over the the last few

weeks culminating early this morning with a call from my Dad and brother as

to what to do. Mom wasn't up at usual time, was moaning, unresponsive,

couldn't open eyes and foam was coming from her mouth. Ambulance, of course.

My first thought was a stroke or diabetic coma. EMT's were there in minutes

luckily. Her blood sugar was 37 and she wouldn't have made it much longer.

Has been fighting a UTI. Antibiotic didn't work and she's so anemic she

needs a blood transfusion. Anemia is common in gluten intolerant and can be

eliminated by eliminating gluten grains.

There's a sister list to NN GFCFNN gluten free, casein free

native nutrition for many of us with food intolerances. If you do a NN on

www.onibasu.com <http://www.onibasu.com> there's lots of info on food

allergy testing and ways to wean yourself to find out if a food affects you.
