Thank you for posting this article. I strongly believe it to be true that a diet of high purine proteins and healthy fats along with low carbs is a healthy diet for most people. I have more thoughts surrounding this but it will likely come across as anti-government, so I will save you all the grief. ![]()

How's it going everyone?
Orema-- how did you like the book? Learn anything new? Dislike/Like? Jesse-- how are you doing? I still haven't finished the book-- I have a hard time reading stuff when I have a full, busy life happening... but we're still planning on doing the Whole30 but not sure when. Soon. Other than that-- things are good. |

I cannot contribute here in an educated way; I started eating low carb rather incidentally. I DID find that weight came off easily (I lost about 30lbs in2 months) and now that I've stopped eating in this manner, I gained 3 lbs...but worse than that, I just donte feel as good as I did.
SO...I'm going to do what I do best and research this...back read this thread and look for recipe books....thanks y'all ![]()

Cinnamon,
There are lots of good places online for low carb/high protein/Paleo/Primal recipes. Usually, Ahk and I both post the link here along with any recipes we post, so a search is a great idea. Sounds like you were doing pretty good if you were successful for three months, maybe you will share some of your recipes with us. ![]() Quote:

ahk,
I am fine and well, thanks for asking. Fall puts me into a drying/canning and cooking mood so thank I the Gods for canning jars and dehydrators. ![]() Jess - waving at Orema's cute avatar Quote:

I'm thinking about starting a traditional medicine/home remedy thread, but in the meantime... Fall is in the air and with that comes flu season soon after. Anyone interested in a recipe that you take once a day to build healthy immunity to colds and flu but can also be taken several times a day to help set things back to right if you happen to get sick?

I'd be interested to know the recipe-- I have a great one for sore throats, flu and colds-- I actually started doing it for myself and then found one that was more in depth. I'll go find the recipe-- its basically turmeric, honey, ginger, lemon... |

Okay, so I will list the ingredients in parts because some may only want to make a quart while others with kids or a larger family may want a gallon. So what this means basically is: if you use 1 cup of garlic use the same amount with the other "parts" and then half that amount for the "half parts". No worries, this stuff does not spoil. It's important to use local, organic as often as possible.
1 part white onion 1 part fresh turmeric root 1 part fresh horseradish root 1/2 part ginger root 1/2 part garlic cloves, smashed or diced 2 or 3 cayenne peppers (okay to substitute with other peppers or with cayenne powder. *Allergy Warning - See below.) 2 organic lemons or limes - juice and zest Thyme- I make a 1/2 gallon and use 2 level tablespoons of dried thyme Raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar - raw, unpasteurized is extremely important in this case because pasteurizing will kill the probiotics that were created when the vinegar was fermented. You will need enough of the ACV to fill the jar after everything else is in there. Raw, organic honey- to taste I heat my ACV on simmer just enough to warm it, do not boil it or heat fast. Wash, peel and dice all of the veggies. The peppers, I just leave whole and make a small slit in each one. You may want to wear rubber gloves when dicing the turmeric, unless you like the look of day-glow yellow hands for days on end. Place all ingredients in clean jar that has a tight fitting lid, heaviest ingredients go in last to help hold the lighter stuff under the liquid. After adding all of the solid ingredients fill the jar with the warmed apple cider vinegar. Wipe the rim with a clean dampened cloth or paper towel. If using a metal lid place a piece of waxed paper between the jar and lid, this will keep the vinegar from eating away at the metal lid. Store in a cool dark place for one full lunar cycle, if possible. After a month, you can either shake it and use as is, or strain all of the veggies and herbs leaving just the cider in a clean jar. I recommend refrigerating it if you leave the veggies in, otherwise it does not require refrigeration. I take 1/2 of a shot glass daily as a preventative and immune builder, or if sick I will take that same amount 3 or 4 times a day until well. I learned in my Curanderismo(traditional medicine) class to always ask the plant or root for permission to use it and to be thankful while using it. Also, when making an infusion such as this, to always do so with intention...meaning think about what you are wanting from this infusion and how it will keep your immune system strong and heal you when you are ill. *Peppers are a member of the nightshade family, so those who are allergic may want to leave them out. ** This is not intended to be medical advice, and is purely my own personal belief and something I do for me. Use at your own risk. ***The name of this is Fire Cider, there are many recipes for it across the web. You should use the roots and veggies that you believe will work best for you after researching on your own. This is simply the one I use for me.

Oh I dehydrate just about anything I can get my hands on to dehydrate. Fresh herbs, veggies, fruit, leftovers I have cooked, like spaghetti and chili. If I find a good sale on frozen veggies, I will buy up and dehydrate them. I do 8 trays of spinach every couple of weeks to use for making spinach powder for my green smoothies. I store all dehydrated stuffs in ball canning jars with dated labels. I love both the canner and the dehydrators that I have, but if I had to choose between one or the other, I would choose the dehydrators.
I kind of thought you might would have close to the same cider recipe. By the way, I so miss ABQ! Quote:

So are you using Bragg's ACV?
Does Publix carry the fresh horseradish and turmeric root? I have the ginger on hand all the time. |
