Consumer Access Made Easy by Raw Milk Vending Machines

by Guest Blogger, Malgorzata Sedzimir- Pszowska

At one time fresh raw milk was available only for country dwellers. Today, in Poland and across Europe, thanks to raw milk vending machines it is becoming widely available to urban dwellers. We would like to see these machines available to small dairy producers around the world.

Fresh unpasteurized milk is a source of wholesome calcium, potassium,  magnesium and many vitamins. Thanks to the lack of heat processing,  fresh milk retains all the natural elements. For example, valuable lactic acid bacteria improves the defense capabilities of the immunological system and revives the bacterial flora of intestines. These both play an important role in deactivating carcinogens, as well as in preventing allergies. Read More »

Teenager Beats Asthma, Allergies with a Traditional Diet

Caitlin-Karsten

Caitlin Weeks and her Brother, Karsten

by Guest Blogger, Caitlin Weeks, Grassfedgirl.com

As a teenager, my brother was plagued by asthma and allergies. He found his way out by changing his diet and lifestyle. This is the story of how returning to a traditional diet restored his health.

Karsten is a 19 year old honor student who always excelled in his studies. He has always been tall and lanky and was able to eat whatever he wanted. But, while growing up he was plagued with allergies, asthma, congestion and sore throats. He ran track for two years in high school but was miserable because of shortness of breath and shooting pains in his side. He had to have his asthma inhaler on hand for when he felt like he could not get a full breath. He had many colds, flu’s and bugs growing up and took multiple antibiotics. He also had occasional acne breakouts. He just thought that all of these symptoms were normal and learned to live with it. Growing up in the south, Karsten ate the standard American diet including lots of pizza, cereal, and sandwiches mixed in with home cooked meals. Read More »

365 Day 306

Welcome to your new week! Are you like me and do you continue to make new years resolutions as January rolls on?

There is so much to accomplish, so much to strive for, improve upon!

When it comes to nutrition, it is all about the children, isn’t it? If we can’t change food policy to promote the proper growth and development of future generations, our economy will fall apart under the weight of poor health–mental and physical!

It all starts with each of us at home, who make a bold difference when we commit to sourcing real food, from local farms. And, when we take those real, raw ingredients and by learning more about cooking, turn them into something nourishing for our family! Read More »

Fourfold-Path-Book

Authors Will Bring Fourfold Path Book to Life

The Fourfold Path to Healing Conference is named after one of the first books I purchased when I first discovered the Weston A. Price Foundation. The Fourfold Path to Healing is a real gem, and important to read as you embark on a wellness journey to improve your life. Two of the authors, Dr. Tom Cowan and Sally Fallon Morell, are founders of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a leading nutrition education non-profit. Each year, they hold a seminar with their co-author, Jaimen McMillan, called the Fourfold Path to Healing Conference (named after the book, of course).

Raw Food Diet Benefits Pets

Raw Food Diet Helps Sick Cat

How a natural diet saved our cat’s life

by Amy Butchko, Guest Blogger

My husband Michael and I have been followers of the nutritional advice of the Weston A. Price Foundation and subscribers to the Hartke is Online! blog for several years, and we’ve seen great results in our health. This post is not about us though; it’s about how we used what we’ve learned about natural diets to totally turn around the health of a very sweet but very sick cat.

Shadow is our nearly 4 year old Ragdoll cat. In December of 2010 (when he was not yet 3), Shadow started running a high fever and Michael rushed him to the emergency vet where they ran all kinds of tests, and the results were bad: Shadow had a cardiomyopathy, which could shorten his life dramatically, he’d have to be on prescriptions and he’d need regular ultrasounds to track the progression of the disease.

We were devastated, and part of the reason was we knew we’d had a role in all this. Read More »

Child’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Responds to Nutrition

Parents-Find-Cure-for-Cancer

The Tyson Family Worked as a Team to Overcome Childhood Cancer

After Surgery, Childhood Cancer Cured with Nutrition

by Kimberly Hartke

On Mason’s fourth birthday, his parents, Nicole and Scott Tyson received the devastating diagnosis, “Your son has a neuroblastoma cancer.”  A life altering moment in the extreme for a young couple, who had spent the prior months excitedly poring over house plans, deciding what to build on a beautiful plot of land they had just purchased.

A mysterious shadow on the x-ray of Mason’s abdomen turned out to be a stage 4 Neuroblastoma. And, it needed to come out right away. Within a week, Mason was wheeled into surgery, with two worried parents by his side, and all their church, family and friends praying for a miracle. Read More »

A group of “constitutional sheriffs and peace officers” plans a Las Vegas Sheriffs meeting to learn how state sovereignty trumps federal authority. Their aim? To better serve and protect the citizens that have elected them.

They will also learn about the raw milk issue, from filmmaker Kristin Canty and the Raw Milk Freedom riders who will have a booth at the event.

The ambitious County Sheriff Project is raising money to send any sheriff all expenses paid, who wants to attend the Las Vegas Sheriffs meeting on January 29-31. Read More »
