Awesome post, Batsheva! And yes, I've been a little intimidated in here before, as well, since my training is not in the scientific field, either. But after some of the stuff I've heard here this week, well, I can hold my head high after all. Thanks for validating "the rest of us"!
And since we are limited to 8 posts a day, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who responded to my hotflash and raw milk posts. I apparently went over my limit yesterday and wasn't allowed to do it!
Love,
Bren

( And no, I never took acid. That comment was just to drive home a point about what it sometimes "feels" like being on this forum when a person sticks their toe into unchartered waters and gets kaboshed, or can't back up a statement without having to first get a PHD to be taken seriously ) And yes, I've
had lots of accupuncture and used some alternative healing modalities that have saved me from the scalpel many times, and saved me from ever having to give my kids an antibiotic, an aspirin, etc. I don't go to a voodoo doctor, by any means. My accupuncturist is an expert in the field of liver diseases in her province in China as a medical doctor there. In this country, she is considered unworthy of even being allowed to participate in health insurance billing.
Why is this forum so dialectic in its thinking? Can't we just share thoughts that may appear peripherally related to paleo at times, and at other times trust that the pendulum of conversation will swing back to discussions of protein, zero carbing, types of fat to consume, etc? Why are folks so uptight that the conversations here might get too religous, or too "unpaleo" whatever that means. Its great that you are controversial, Geoff. I'm all for stirring the pot. . I just think a few folks on this list would be a lot more endearing if we all
remembered the adage: "You attract more bees with honey than you do vinegar".. That's all...
