Weston Price's marvelous Nutrition and Physical Degeneration is available from: Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation (Phone: 619-574-7763) Box 2614 LaMesa CA 91943-2614 As you may recall, Dr. Stanley Bass frequently cites Price's book as confirmation of his and Dr. Christopher Gian-Cursio's own studies, both with patients and with his mice experiments--these studies conclude that humans must consume some form of animal protein for optimal health. Interestingly, according to one of my subscribers, the China Study also notes no cancer in people who eat less than something like 5% flesh, but that cancers start once you consume more than about 7%. This seems to be in line with Ward's research and also makes sense to me intuitively. Anyway, do order the book because it presents very convincing evidence. > I think the advice to Susie from others to eat seaweed instead of > the collodial minerals could have some merit, certainly seaweed > is a more natural source. But fasting when pregnant sounds > dangerous to me. I agree about the no fasting for pregnant women. I don't know if I agree or not about the colloidal minerals. Since I'm having such fabulous results with BarleyGreen in my own diet, I'm about ready to take another plunge and experiment with the T.J. Clark colloidal minerals. I see good articles for trying them; I see good articles for not trying them. So I think I'll try 'em and see what I think. Chet Day http://members.GNN.COM/chetday/open.htm
