What is meant by the ‘diseases of civilization’, and how can simple lifestyle changes help you increase your longevity and quality of life in the modern world? Jakob will introduce participants to exciting traditional evidence and modern research in diet, nutrition, and herbal medicine, and discuss what this research means for tens of millions of Americans today who suffer from prediabetes, diabetes, heart disease, and related ailments. Whether you’re looking to lose a few extra pounds, increase your energy level, or lead a more healthy and vital life in general, this presentation is for you. This is an introductory level class, and the class will last a little over an hour.
This class is being offered free especially for the local WAP Foundation!
Jakob Sletteland MSc, RH(AHG), is a Clinical Nutritionist, Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild, and local health educator. He is a volunteer clinician with Occupy Medical, and his private practice, Vital Force Natural Health, is now located in the People’s Wellness Center in Eugene, Oregon.

The History of Fermented Cod Liver Oil

Time: 8:00 PM
Location: Market of Choice

Dave and Barb Wetzel founded Green Pasture Products in 2000, with a focus on providing high-quality sacred-food oils just as they were made prior to the industrialized food and farming revolution.
High-Vitamin Butter Oil is our foundation product that all our work has blossomed through. Dr. Weston Price discovered High-Vitamin Butter Oil back in the 1930’s but the pinnacle of his discovery was when he combined Cod Liver Oil with High-Vitamin Butter Oil.
Today we produce the High-Vitamin Butter Oil, and we ferment the historically sacred cod and skate liver oils. Fermenting the livers of fish to extract the oil is an old world practice that may go back as far as biblical times. During the 1850s was the beginning of the industrial food revolution and the first time cod liver oil manufacturing changed from it’s historical sacred roots to an industrialized food.
There will also be tastings available and time to ask all your questions. And if you order products at the presentation they are offering FREE shipping!
This is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear him speak in Eugene. Don’t miss it!

Despite major media’s apparent lost of interest in this topic, the crisis at the Fukushima Japanese nuclear reactor is far from over. Many alternative health practitioners have made recommendations about taking iodine or other supplements (I posted one from Dr. Thomas Cowan here), and these recommendations have been flying about on the Internet.
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss iodine, radiation and what we can do to protect our health from continuing long term exposure to radiation. Join us for some lively discussion.
