Great post! Questions: 1) Any favorite recipes? How do you get Layla to eat all of that? and 2) Thoughts on Omega-3?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the E-book. :)

Organic baby foods make things a little easy for me. She has always had trouble with citrus and tomato foods, so it's pretty much all bland or fruit type foods. We are almost over mucositis from radiation and have found it is actually easier to mix everything in a bottle rather than in a bowl of food as it gets kind of gritty. Her daytime bottles now consist of 2oz of coconut milk kefir, 1 oz of either muscadine grape juice or a blueberry pomegranate blend, 1.5 oz of throat coat licorice tea, 1/4 oz of aloe juice, 3 oz of some green and orange blends of baby food, a tablespoon of egg protein powder and a raw pastured egg. Then I mix in all of her supplements in the blender. I am using the 10oz evenflo glass bottles. When she can eat from the spoon, I take and make little cupcake cups of blended hamburger or chicken to measure it ahead of time. I have blended some beef liver in as well in the past, but will try chicken liver as it is a little milder. The best way to heat the ghee, palm oil an virgin coconut oil is in ceramic type cereal bowl on a low heat burner. Heat the meat and oils together and then stir in the baby food of your choice. What gave me problems before in the food is the curcumin and resveratrol have very strong flavors and can overwhelm the taste of the food.
ReplyDeleteShe gets an evening bottle and sometimes wakes up in the middle of night thirsty too, probably due to all the supplementation. I usually try to keep the sugar low in these bottles and use a couple oz of strawberry kefir along with 3-4 oz of coconut water which will also help her rid the body of toxins as it is a mild diuretic. The rest I'll top off with the Fiji water. I usually add a little vitamin C and a drop of the concentrace as well for extra detox while she sleeps.
For omega-3, cod liver oil is the best way to go. If you are eating pastured products this will also help keep you balance. Layla gets 1.5 teaspoons per day of the cod liver oil in her bottles. I can't get past the whole flax paint product thing, plus only a very small percentage of the omega 3 from flax is able to be utilized.
Hi Weldon, your doing a great job. I'm learning a lot from you. Have you taken a look at the GAPS diet www.gapsdiet.com That'a what I'm on now. Also, I would like for you to take a look at the 4 Herb Tea http://www.herbalhealer.com/essiac.html this is where I buy my hard to find herbs and they also have supplements. Let me know what you think. clintonlancaster@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks. I just came across this book recommended by a friend - I think I will check it out for recipes: http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Traditions-Challenges-Politically-Dictocrats/dp/0967089735/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303418053&sr=8-1
ReplyDeleteDo you have favorite cook books?
Ingrid
Ingrid, Nourishing Traditions is my favorite. I like to use the internet mostly. I have subscribed to numerous "Real Food" facebook sites that always seem to post really good recipes. I just save them in a bookmark file, then I usually have pictures to go by too. I do plan on getting the books "Fat" and "Bones" by Jennifer MacLagen http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Appreciation-Misunderstood-Ingredient-Recipes/dp/1580089356
