Guest guest Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Omega 3's help the body assimilate sunlight. All deep-sea, cold-water fish are naturally high in omega 3's BECAUSE they do not have continuous access to sunlight. The native Inuits did not have 'sad' because they ate a lot of food high in omega 3's. Most areas with low sunlight (relative to other areas) usually also have spawning salmon streams. One Indian group mentioned by Weston Price was in the Northwest corner of US and Southwest corner of Canada. These Indians ate cold smoked salmon on a regular basis. Your brother might try consuming large quantities of wild caught salmon. mm fourume2003 <mdrgnolan@...> wrote: I have a brother who is suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and is looking into changing his indoor lighting. I sent him a link from Dr Mercola on spectrum lighting. But I'm wondering if there are any nutritional things that would help him. He moved from sunny AZ with 300+ sunny days a year to here in southern OR where we have a rainy period from approx Nov 1st thru about the end of Feb or so. Not every day is gray, but apparently enough for him to really feel it. I'm wondering if there might be a Vit D connection? Anyone have any suggestions? And no, he can't move back to AZ, for one thing due to job/finances, but mainly because his wife has lupus and can't tolerate the heat of summers there.

If his job is sedentary he could walk or get more air. His wife's lupus. Has she seen if she is gluten intolerant? Many are. Both giving up gluten could improve health and state of mind.

Interesting, I'll have to check that link out. As for the gluten intolerance, I don't think she has checked into it, although she did mention it to me once thinking about her brother who has RA. I am the pioneer here in my family. I am currently working on getting them hooked on fresh raw Guernsey milk (our farmer's cow just freshened today!) and by this time next week my hubby and I will be venturing into the world of gluten free ourselves. I have a hard time figuring out how people break free of gluten. I am very health *info* oriented and committed to helping my hubby with his RA. Therefore I am willing to do whatever it takes. But *normal* people? For me, it will require much more time in the kitchen than I'm already putting in just feeding us healthy nourishing home cooked meals and holding down a job. Now I will be responsible for providing a gluten free bread for dh, and mind you he's the epitome of " if it's edible it goes between 2 slices of bread. " Then there's the cookies/muffins, etc that I'll need to have on hand for him. And for myself, I need to watch the extra carbs so I can lose weight. I guess if it works for us, we'll be living testamonies of gluten free for the rest of the family. Rhonda who just bought her first gallon and a half of fresh colostrum and wondering what to do with it exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tas' I'd heard of colostrum pudding on the raw dairy group. But these recipes sound very interesting. My question would be what the heat would do to the goodness of the raw colostrum. If I had access to more later on I might would try to do one of those custards. Interesting that you don't need eggs for it to set up. Anyway I ended up with the 1st day gallon and a half. Then 2 gallons of the milk/colostrum from the morning milking on day 3. It was more milk than colostrum, the colostrum rising to the top like cream and lighter in color. We are actually just drinking it like milk and of course kefiring it as well. Most of the 1st day colostrum went into one cup portions and put into the freezer. I'll probably just add it to our kefir fruit smoothies. And of course hold some back for *emergencies* such as any colds that may hit the extended family (that is if they're not squeamish at the thought of consuming intensely yellow raw cow colostrum) Even I, who drink raw milk all the time, felt a little trepidation at the first sip or two LOL.
