June 18: Cabbage Rolls Demo

Date:

Thursday, June 18th, 2020

5:00 PM (Pacific Time)

Details:

Keto Cabbage Rolls with Cauliflower Rice

If you’re going keto or low carb, you’re going to want to master the skill of making riced vegetables. We’ll show you how to make this versatile keto staple from cauliflower, celery root, and turnips. Then we’ll stuff it into a keto cabbage roll simmered in bone broth and stuffed with shrimp and thymus! ”

If you’ve never tried thymus (also called sweetbreads), give it a try!  It is a very mild tasting variety meat.  Everyone loved it at the Variety Meats class we held a few years ago.

This recipe is suitable for low-carb, keto, GAPS and anyone following a Wise Traditions diet.  If you are not low-carb, GAPS or Keto and do well with grains, you can certainly substitute properly prepared rice in place of the cauliflower rice.

Description:

Plant-based life styles are becoming popular. Is there a problem with that? In this DVD, Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride will be talking about the value of plant foods versus animal foods and what people should know before making a decision to become a vegetarian or a vegan.

“There is a mountain of information available on the benefits of eating vegetables, as they contain a plethora of wonderful nutrients. They should be eaten every day, both cooked and raw. Just as with our meat and dairy, we need to be sure our fruits and vegetables are as fresh and clean as possible, raised and prepared properly.”

Dr. Campbell-McBride graduated with honors as a medical doctor in 1984 from Bashkir Medical University in Russia. In the following years she gained a postgraduate degree in neurology and completed a second postgraduate degree in human nutrition at Sheffield University, UK.

In 2004 she published a book Gut And Psychology Syndrome. Natural Treatment of Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Depression and Schizophrenia where she explores the connection between the patient’s physical state and brain function. The book gives full details of the GAPS Nutritional Protocol, highly successful in treating patients with learning disabilities and other mental problems.  A second edition was published in 2010, and the book has been translated into twelve languages.

In her clinic Dr. Campbell-McBride works with many patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, arrhythmia, stroke and other complications of atherosclerosis. She has become acutely aware of the existing confusion about nutrition and these conditions, which spurred an intensive study into
