Cold season update. I have 2 kids, one in preschool, one in K, and the wife day cares for another... so our house is germ central. My kids USED to have chronic ear infections with EVERY cold... this season they have weathered 2 colds with NO ear infections. WHY? I took them off of store bought milk and limited dairy. Its the #1 allergy to kids that causes ear infections. I also took myself off most dairy except Raw Milk. I have had NO ear infections. This season will be the true test as I suffer from seasonal allergies, so we will see if the non-dairy diet helps that. I also eat local honey which is said to help too. Related side note: A Zinc dosage with breakfast helps ward off colds and flu. I survived 3 snotty kids for 2 weeks w/o a cold. Woot!

Good for her! People need to wake up to the "Whole Grain" myth that they are good for you.. not anymore! Wheat is a GMO plant now. It becomes and opiate in the body... No one should eat wheat anymore.. avoid as much of it as you can.
A healthy diet is so simple... Go organic, go primal. Avoid processed anything, and remember that natural saturated fat IS good for you. and Farmers markets are your friend.
