Dear JoAnn,

Realistically, isn't there some danger, like if you eat too much protein and
not enough fats? I don't measure everything he eats but try to make sure he
gets a lot of fat in the diet. For example, pork rinds and almond butter as
a snack--the pork rinds have 50% fat by weight. The almond butter or
hazelnut butter has a lot of fat in it, esp the hazelnut butter.

If I make a small error and he gets too much protein, how dangerous is that?
Can the system handle it?

With pemmican, I worry if I am putting in enough fat. How dangerous is it if
I don't put enough fat in? I mix it in until it is all moistened and then some.

Also have been using dripping from pork to use as a fat for the pemmican,
hope it is high enough in fat.

Also, do we need to worry about saturated vs unsaturated fats in this diet?

It makes a lot of sense to me. So many of these kids have devastated
intestines/colons from antibiotics and vaccines. Their digestive tract is
less able to repel invaders like yeast and bad bacteria. These same bad
microbes feed on carbos. Doesn't it make ultimate sense to get rid of the
carbos they are feeding on?  Any other possible dangers, does anyone know?
The medical establishment makes a ketogenic diet sound so scary and
dangerous. What about the all sugar diet most kids today are on? Does anyone
measure their ho-ho intake??

Nut butters have some carbs in them, do we need to watch the intake of nut
butters?
