Is fish and/or seafood a part of your diet? Let us know with an emoji!
Our latest recipe of the week is fish cakes, provided by Sally Fallon Morell via https://www.westonaprice.org/fish-cakes.
Sally asserts that fish is the health food, par excellence. When Dr. Weston A. Price traveled the world to study traditional peoples on native diets, he discovered that those who ate seafoods had the best health, as revealed by their freedom from cavities, width of palate and overall state of contentment and happiness. All ocean fish are excellent sources of macro and trace minerals, particularly iodine and zinc. Our soils may be depleted of certain trace minerals, but every one we need exists in the boundless oceans; seafood is our only sure source to obtain them all. Sally recommends we consume fish at least once a week and offers this recipe as one way to do so!
Principle 8 of our 11 Wise Traditions Dietary Principles is to eat both land and sea animals to balance essential fatty acids.

"Just eat real food" is a phrase we support! What is real food? Food that remains close to its natural state, without artificial additives, colors, synthetic vitamins and preservatives. We do process and preserve foods such as sauerkraut which has been fermented with salt, and possibly whey or a natural culture. That we'd describe as naturally processed and preserved.
Fruit loops cereal, pictured on the cover of this reel, is not real food. It is industrially processed and contains no fruit of any kind. Grains are extruded and artificially colored, sweetened, and preserved. Synthetic vitamins are added as well as industrial seed oils. Seed oils are often found in ultra-processed foods and if you see them on any label, we'd recommend you avoid it!
"Real Food is considered to be all those foods that have not been industrially processed or foods that have not had their natural qualities interfered with or the quality of their composition reduced."
"Real food is food that hasn't been artificially created, was produced in soil and/or had a mother."

As an antidote to the topic of Fruit Loops yesterday, here is an example of naturally processed and preserved fruit! Fermented strawberries: https://bit.ly/fermentedstrawberries
Strawberries are in season. We recommend you ensure they aren't sprayed with toxins. Fermented strawberries can be used for jam, added to cultured dairy, ice cream and used to make fruit roll-ups: https://bit.ly/strawberryfruitrollups with added honey and lemon juice.
Note that the word antidote was chosen deliberately! A medicine taken to counteract a particular poison.

Unpopular opinion: bread is good for you. But not just any bread, and certainly not bread made from refined white flour with artificial additives, preservatives and synthetic vitamins and minerals. Courtney Queen, the chef behind the nourishing-food recipe website Butter For All https://www.butterforall.com/, explains why sourdough bread made from ancient grains is the best choice for those who want to include bread in their diet to benefit from its nourishing ingredients.
Sourdough bread made with wild yeast, bacteria, and whole grain is the oldest and most original form of leavened bread. It truly is an ancient art that is crafted in harmony with nature.
Courtney goes over how to start making it, why it matters, and she even walks us through a sourdough bread recipe. She explains why ancient grains such as einkorn are preferred by many in our community. Finally, she hastens to remind us that entire civilizations were built on grains and bread, so we need not summarily reject it!
Click on https://campsite.bio/westonaprice to listen to or read the transcription of this podcast! Sneak peak: if you don't want to make sourdough bread yourself, don't be fooled by the word "sourdough" on bread labels. If it has the word "yeast" on it, it is not the kind of sourdough bread we recommend. Commercial yeast is not the same as wild yeast and it can't replace the benefits of a slow fermentation process. We have an annual shopping guide we send to members, which can also be purchased by non-members for a nominal fee. It includes a category for bread. We link to that via https://campsite.bio/westonaprice.
We also recommend you ask your local chapter leader if there are any sourdough bread options near you. We link to our chapter leader list as well https://campsite.bio/westonaprice!
Do you make your own sourdough bread or have a local source? Let us know with a thumbs up emoji! We would have chosen the bread emoji, but it looks like Wonder Bread or other refined white flour breads we don't recommend.

Sally Fallon Morell explains why we recommend fish liver oil and not fish oil: https://bit.ly/avoidfishoil
Note that the key word is liver. Fish liver oil is extracted from fish livers such as cod or skate livers, whereas fish oil is extracted from the body flesh of fish.
Sally explains "Fish oil is a highly processed waste product of the fishing industry. The omega-3s it contains will likely be highly damaged (that is, rancid) from the high-temperature processing, and fish oil does not supply appreciable amounts of vitamins A and D. [The article https://bit.ly/avoidfishoil explains the extraction method, which she predicts will turn you off!]
We do need omega-3 fatty acids, but not too much! Best to stick with small amounts of cod liver oil, to ensure adequate intake of vitamins A and D–in the context of a diet containing meat, organ meats, eggs and animal fats like butter—and avoid the popular fish oils."
We link to our recommended brands of cod liver oil here: https://bit.ly/clorecommendations
Learn more about principle 8 of our 11 Wise Traditions Dietary Principles here: https://bit.ly/principle8
Cod liver oil is an excellent source of nutrients, however it certainly is not essential to a healthy diet. It is one recommended food of many. Liver and offal of any kind and other nutrient-dense animal foods from land and sea will provide many of the same benefits. Concerns about vitamin A toxicity are addressed here: https://bit.ly/vitaminaoverview
Pictures are from public archives of historic cod liver oil production and children who take a spoonful at school in 1944, which was common in those days!

The Health Freedom Defense Fund, whose mission we wholeheartedly support, published an article Exploding the Spanish Flu Myth https://healthfreedomdefense.org/exploding-the-spanish-flu-myth/
Sneak Peak:
“When looked at without pre-established sentiments, the entire story of this cataclysmic health catastrophe being caused by some microscopic superbug seems rather unreasonable. When looked at in the context of the devastation produced by World War 1, with the backdrop of a nascent pharmaceutical/chemical industry in search of its raison d’étre, this seminal human catastrophe develops a logical coherence that defies the standard assumptions
of infectious disease.”
Here are a couple of questions the author explores:
“How was it that this flu and only this flu ambushed young healthy adults and not young children and older adults with weaker systems?”
“How was it that this flu and only this flu turned people’s faces blue and their lips purple and caused people to collapse within a matter of hours—even dying the same day?”
We agree with the author’s conclusion: “Now more than ever, it’s important to pursue these questions, to have knowledge of this history, and to get that history right in order to understand the verifiable origins of the event and document who the false narrative serves“ Read this article, folks!
https://healthfreedomdefense.org/exploding-the-spanish-flu-myth/ and share it widely.

Greenwashed, indeed. Gasp! Yes, folks this is true! Phoenix Be, a health coach, farmer and advocate for real food, explains on this week's Wise Traditions podcast why it simply isn't true that vaccines or bleach make our meat safe for consumption. As a farmer he believes what makes us sick is not bacteria or pseudo-viruses but toxins in and around our food.
Phoenix also shares his own health journey about his life and health after he ditched Lucky Charms, TV dinners, chlorinated pools and what he refers to as "chem lawns." Listen to or read the transcription of episode 487: https://campsite.bio/westonaprice
Update - the purpose of the bleach or apple cider vinegar is to clean the meat.

Fermented potato chips, our latest recipe of the week, comes from a recent article published in our Wise Traditions journal by Dr. Bill Schindler about "toxic taters" and lessons he learned from traditional preparation methods. We link to that article from the recipe https://www.westonaprice.org/fermented-potatoes.
Due to the toxins in potatoes, Bill recommends a number of best practices such as this recipe illustrates - ferment them. In addition, he recommends we always store potatoes in a cool but not cold place, peel them, and to keep an eye on our oxalate consumption because potatoes are not a low oxalate food. We link to a short video Bill recorded on that topic via the recipe as well!
