Newsletter Anniversary

Welcome back. This month marks the first anniversary of this newsletter. Please let us know how we are doing. What can we do to make it better?

Evening Potluck!

You asked for it, you got it! We are having an outdoor EVENING potluck! This is our first evening potluck of 2008, but if the response is good we will have others. See below for details.

Membership Drive

It is time once again for our fall membership drive for The Weston A. Price Foundation. If you are not already a member please consider becoming one.

If anyone has been waiting to become a member,
now is the time!

Read an invitation from the president of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

Bacteria are everywhere!

At this very moment there is bacteria on your hands, in your mouth, in your eyes, and there is 3 to 4 pounds of bacteria living in your digestive system!

If you were an average American, the above sentence would likely make you run for the antibacterial handsoap and pop a few dozen antibiotics in your mouth. Now, since you are reading this newsletter, I know that you are not average Americans. Anyone following the principals of the Weston A. Price Foundation has heard of the importance of consuming probiotics in the form of fermented foods. I have on occasion said that it was more important to make sure that you are eating ENOUGH bacteria than it is to worry about eating a few harmful ones (unfortunately most people just look at me funny).

This month our “Popcorn Review” will feature the second of Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride’s presentations. In this presentation she discusses some details on how the digestive system functions, how leaky gut and food allergies develop and most of all how to seal and heal the gut, allowing a healthy population of probiotic bacteria to recover if our inner-ecosystem has been damaged.

“Gut and Psychology Syndrome” DVD will Repeat

We had such a wonderful response to the first showing of the “Gut and Psychology Syndrome” DVD that we will be showing it again in September. Please let friends and relatives know about this DVD.

No “Popcorn Review” This Month

Market of Choice has filled up the Community Room this month, so there will be no DVD showing in June. But I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you about a really wonderful DVD presentation in July.

“Gut and Psychology Syndrome” Presentation in July

I am very pleased to announce that the “Popcorn Review” in July will be “Gut and Psychology Syndrome” by Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD.

This is the DVD I have been looking forward to showing all year! It has powerful implications to halt the rising epidemic of childhood learning disorders and other health problems. I heard Dr. Campbell-McBride speak at the Wise Traditions 2007 Conference and was very impressed. For me, her two talks were the highlight of the conference.

Seemingly incurable disorders like depression, autism, ADD and eczema
all have one thing in common: gut problems.

Most people think that psychological problems like depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are “all in our heads” and that diet and lifestyle have nothing to do with it.

With conditions like autism, dyslexia, ADD, ADHD and dyspraxia on the rise, mainstream medicine is expecting to find the origin of these disorders in our genes.

These seemingly “incurable” disorders are being treated with drugs that only mask the symptoms and have troubling side effects…if they work at all.

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, MMedSci (neurology), MMedSci(nutrition) has a different point of view. As a mother of a young son who was diagnosed with autism, Dr. Campbell- McBride believes that these children and adults are falling into the “gap” of our medical knowledge.

Today Dr. Campbell-McBride’s son is a bright, happy teenager who has been fully recovered from autism for years. Dr Campbell-McBride used a specific diet that was focused on healing his intestines to reverse his condition.

The bottom line is that people who have the brain related and neurological problems are suffering needlessly because of we lack knowledge about our gut and our brain and how they work together. All of the above disorders have surprisingly common traits: gut problems.

From: www.bodyecology.com

If you or someone you know has one of these disorders, please encourage them to attend. We will show the second DVD in August in which she discusses details on how to do the program.

“Good Calories, Bad Calories” by Gary Taubes

A Brief Book Review

I just finished reading “Good Calories, Bad Calories” by Gary Taubes and had to tell you all how great it was! Taubes offers a fascinating account of what studies have been done (and importantly what studies have NOT been done), what the research shows about dietary fats, sugars, cutting calories and exercise, and their effects on Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease, (possibly Cancer and Alzheimer’s) and how our public health policy came to be so drastically different than what the evidence suggests.

This review pretty much sums up my thoughts.

This is unlike any book you’ve ever read on the subject of diets. It is not a diet book. It is not a lifestyle book. It is not an advocacy book. It is a look at the science that has been ignored as our country has rolled toward the low-fat religion and what the consequences of this have been. It is a look at how and why overwhelming science and evidence was ignored.

Society has needed someone to do what Taubes did here — to strip away what is popular, to dig into claims and recommendations, and see what the EVIDENCE shows us for claims on both sides of the diet argument. It will give you clarity where there has never been any, while explaining why it has been absent.

If you are looking for a book that lays out a diet plan and recipes and sample meals and such, this is not for you. This is a work of scientific journalism, not a diet plan.

On a final note, it is noteworthy that there have been no real rebuttals to this work whatsoever from the “experts” and “authorities” who have, because of politics and money and cowardice, advocated dietary guidelines that have driven our society into our miserable states of health and obesity.

That silence is shame.

For more information: Here is a recent lecture by Gary Taubes.

Or send an e-mail to: info@lanefood.org

From the Editor:

My son & I are over our colds and feeling much better, thanks.

Recipe Collection:

In February we had some really wonderful food at the monthly potluck. Carla made a middle-eastern beef curry, Kathleen made a kasha casserole, Sandi made paté, Lisa made vegetable pancakes, and Leonard brought some homemade sauerkraut from homegrown cabbage! And surprisingly they all went together really well.

We discussed starting a compilation of recipes that would be made available to the group sometime in the future. We are going to start by having everyone email me a quick outline of your recipe after the potluck.

If you have used a recipe from Nourishing Traditions just include the name of the recipe and any modifications you made. If you cook like many of us do, and don’t use a recipe, just jot down some approximate measurements and list all ingredients you think you used.

I have found that the easiest way to make notes is by sticking a piece of paper (or 3×5 card) to the refrigerator and making notes as I go along.

If you used a recipe from another cookbook, please write out the full recipe and name of book.

This should be fun and easy, and provide us with a wonderful compilation of delicious recipes.

“The Popcorn Review”

“Making Sense Out of Fiber Nonsense”

Friday, April 18, 2008
7:30 to 9:00 PM

Location:
Market of Choice
67 West 29th, Eugene
Upstairs in the Community Room

“Making Sense Out of Fiber Nonsense” by Konstantin Monastrysky.

Monastrysky is the author of “Fiber Menace: The Truth About Fiber’s Role in Diet Failure, Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and Colon Cancer”. www.FiberMenace.com

Monastrysky discusses fiber consumption, constipation, healthy bowel movements and diseases of the colon with knowledge and humor on a topic that most of us are reluctant to discuss. This DVD might also be called “Everything You Wanted to Know About Bowel Movements But Were Afraid to Ask.”

This presentation was recorded at the 2007 Wise Traditions Conference.

The mainstream acceptance of dietary fiber is quite recent. The “dietary fiber hypothesis” was accepted as a major addition to nutrition by the 1980’s. Since then fiber has become a preeminent health food, even thought there isn’t a single other non-nutrient (not alcohol, not artificial sweeteners, not even MSG) with as many well-known side effects as fiber. So what gives? Monastrysky will enumerate all the known connections between the consumption of fiber and major colorectal disorders, such as IBS, coloisis, Crohn’s disease and colon cancer.

Konstantin Monastyrsky graduated from medical school in 1976 with a degree in pharmacology, but chose to pursue a career in the high-technology field. In 1996, just over forty years old, he began to suffer from severe diabetes and a host of related ailments, including debilitating carpal tunnel syndrome, and decided to pursue a career in medical research to find the solutions to his rapidly deteriorating health. Since then, Mr. Monastyrsky has fully recovered from diabetes and has written two best-selling Russian-language books, entitled Functional Nutrition and Disorders of Carbohydrate Metabolism, and his first English language book, provocatively entitled Fiber Menace: The Truth About Fiber’s Role in Diet Failure, Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and Colon Cancer.

That’s My Farmer

Tuesday, April 8, 2008
6:30 PM

Location:
First United Methodist Church
13th & Olive

While this isn’t a Eugene Chapter event, we would like to let you know about this opportunity to meet local farmers.

Come meet the CSA farmers, presentations, homemade ice cream and door prizes.

Locally Grown Directory

The Eugene Chapter WAPF will be listed in the upcoming edition of the “Locally Grown” directory that we have been distributing at our events. We are very pleased to begin making contact with other food/nutrition organizations in our area.

From the Editor:

Welcome back to another issue of the newsletter presentation of the Eugene Chapter, Weston A. Price Foundation^®

I hope you all enjoyed the snow. We had quite a bit at our place. Beautiful. We were snowed in for several days. It seemed like a good time to sit back with a bowl of hot soup.

Perfect time for bone-broth

Winter is the perfect time to make gelatinous mineral-rich bone broth. I was very pleased with my recent batch. It was the first time I’ve been able to get beef stock to gel. Usually I have no trouble with chicken stock, but my beef stock stubbornly remains liquid even in the fridge. The secret this time was using lots of knuckle bones for the gelatin-rich cartilage.

I used an assortment of large knuckle and marrow bones, and threw in a bag of rib bones and T-bones from the freezer. These bones were bagged and frozen whenever we had some left over after dinner. I didn’t bother to put vegetables into my stock this time (knowing I would put lots into the soup). I simply roasted the bones, then filled a large stock pot with as many bones as it would hold, filled it with water and a few tablespoons of vinegar to help pull minerals into the water, and then left it at a low simmer for well over two days.

I made a Italian-style soup with using the stock, hamburger, roasted tomatoes, onions, veggies, salt, pepper, herbs and of course lots of garlic! Yummy!

Eat Here Now

In January the Eugene Chapter participated in the “Eat Here Now” Farmer Appreciation & Local Foods Community Potluck. We had a table with information and several local members attended.

Before the event Victoria said: “I think it would be really great if one of our members WON the grand prize for the best locally produced potluck dish.” AND SO SHE DID! Victoria won first prize for her fermented vegetables in the vegan category. Way to go Victoria! Victoria will discuss her award winning recipes in the upcoming class.

And finally, I want to welcome those of you who recently found us recently at “Eat Here Now” or other local events. We hope you enjoy the newsletter. Please let us know if you have any suggestions to make it better. Enclosed you will find information on the upcoming local events presented by the Eugene Chapter.

“The Popcorn Review”

“The Future of Food”

Friday, February 15, 2008
7:30 to 9:00 PM

Location:
Market of Choice
67 West 29th, Eugene
Upstairs in the Community Room

This month we will be presenting “The Future of Food”, a film by Deborah Koons Garcia.

From the website: www.thefutureoffood.com

There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America — a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.

From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply.

Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world’s food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.

Volunteer Opportunity

As we announced last month, the Eugene Chapter has started a program of offering Volunteer Credits in exchange for work done for the local chapter. These Credits may be used at the end of the year towards registration and/or transportation to the Wise Traditions 2008 Conference held in California this year.

We have many opportunities for you to help the local chapter. Right now the most useful volunteer we need is someone who will contact the local newspapers, find out deadlines and details for submitting an event listing, and then submit our listing for classes and DVD showings. This task will only require some phone calls, a little note taking, and possibly email correspondence. Please contact us if a few hours of your time is a gift you can give to your local chapter.

Future Class Topics

We are currently planning our Food Preparation Class schedule for the next few months, and would like your feedback.

For most people, incorporating the WAPF Dietary Guidelines and Characteristics of Traditional Diets involves learning many new techniques and using some unfamiliar foods. Please share with us which ones you would like to see offered in future classes.
