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 »

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 »

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 »

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).
This year, the Fourfold Path healing conference comes to Baltimore, Maryland, and I am very pleased to finally be able to go to this amazing healing conference. Read More »

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 »
