Beautiful post, and ironically published the same day that I posted about the Problem with Prevention, using the same photo of that beautiful smiling man! Obviously we are on the same path!

Thank you for doing what you do so well: educating and encouraging the public to eat Truly Nourishing Food and live Truly Healthy Lives!

I am always surprised (well, not so much anymore...) when people don't make the diet and health connection. Food is medicine - for better OR worse. I will be particularly interested in your findings on the endocrine system. Often times overlooked and very misunderstood. <abbr><em>Karen Great post!

I have been striving for the past few months to be in bed before 10:00 even though my whole body wants to stay up until 1:00 a.m. I am so full of energy at that time. My old naturopathic doctor said I didn't just have adrenal fatigue, but rather "adrenal blowout." And the adrenal blowout has lead to hypothyroidism. Joy, joy. So, these things I fight from my past life of stress, sugar addiction, processed food, no exercise, etc. It's an uphill battle, but definitely a battle I'm taking on. Thanks for the encouraging article! P.S. When one of you figures out the natural cure to heal and restore the thyroid from hypothyroidism, please let me know! I've read numerous books and online articles, but can't get anything better than Armour thryoid. So, Kristen, please find us a cure in all your research!!

People like the woman from the phone conversation who chase symptoms with medication will go on thinking they're healthy until they end up with major disease. Then they'll think it's too late and will simply give up any hope of improving their health. I see it all the time, even in my family, and it's really sad. Most people who rely on medications don't understand the concept of chasing symptoms and don't realize that by doing so, they're letting whatever problem they have persist and progress. True health is about supporting the body's ability to take care of itself, not forcefully changing the way it functions through medication (although medication is sometimes necessary). Pasteur's deathbed quote is a testament to the amazing capabilities of the human body. It's just a shame that it received very little of the attention that his germ theory did. Christina, to hold you over until Kristen writes more, I have an article about <a href="http://naturalbias.com/adrenal-fatigue-whipping-a-tired-body/" rel="nofollow">adrenal fatigue</a> that you might find helpful. <abbr><em>Vin - NaturalBias This is a message that more people need to be exposed to!

Seriously. This is going to be fun. I have an excuse to do all this research I've been wanting to do for the past year. Hopefully I can share some of it in a non-academic way with you guys so that I don't bore you to death! Bethany -- Interesting. I've never studied iridology in depth. Maybe one day. Bonnie -- I know the feeling! Everyone thinks it's normal to poop only once a day, once every other day, or once a week. Basically, whatever's "normal" for them is what they call normal. Same with indigestion, bloating, headaches, waking up with drainage or a stuffy nose, the list goes on. Local Nourishment -- 60 supplements! Yowsers. I understand the desire for supplements, even on a real food diet. After all, our food can only be as nutrient dense as the soil that produced it (which is sadly depleted in most cases). Nevertheless, 60! Catherine -- I know how that goes. Sadly, the older you get, the less time you have to work on healing. By then, even if you switch to real food nutrition, you're playing defense instead of offense. Of course, that doesn't mean it's not worth a shot! I've seen elderly people lower their cholesterol, lose weight, and get off a number of meds just by changing their diet. Will, Laryssa, & Bethany -- Yay. I'm glad you're all looking forward to these posts. I hope I live up to your expectations! Christina — And I can’t wait to write them. Seriously. This is going to be fun.
