I have decided to devote this newsletter to the wonderful
work of the Weston A. Price Foundation. I am one of the Co-Directors (with
Susan Wichman and Laurie Meyer) of the Ozaukee/Washington County Chapter. The
Foundation provides a plethora of helpful information on current topics
affecting our health. While the
original work of Dr. Price focused mainly on food, the Foundation has expanded
its areas of interest to include environmental issues, pesticides, vaccinations,
and other controversial topics.
As we know good health starts at the farm or ranch with
healthy soil and healthy animals. The Weston A. Price Foundation helps citizens
find food from chemical-free and pasture-based farms through its local chapter
system.
The Foundation provides support to farmers who raise produce
and pasture-fed meat, eggs, and dairy products.
All the information that the foundation provides is
evidence-based.

their latest articles of interest. All the Journals are available online, but
donations are still helpful and appreciated! Here’s a link to the Journals: https://www.westonaprice.org/category/journal/
Below are a few of the highlights from the most recent Wise
Traditions, Winter 2018. I trust you will find them entertaining and
enlightening!
The Crowd’s Dietary
Wisdom
This may be my favorite article from this issue. The author,
Tom Naughton, explains why we should listen to crowds, not experts! You will
see how the “experts” believe they now best what is good for you and how they
manipulate the uninformed to follow their point of view.
Several years ago, he directed the documentary Fat Head which I definitely encourage
you to watch.

Sunscreens: The Dark Side of Avoiding the Sun
This is another excellent article, especially as the weather
(finally) turns warm. In this article Elizabeth Plourde enlightens us on the
chemicals and nanoparticles in sunscreens. The widespread use of sunscreens has
resulted not only in increased skin cancers but in contamination of the world’s
water sources.
When Susana and I were in Australia at the Great Barrier
Reef it was mandatory to wear a full wet suit when going in the water. The
reason stated was to protect the reef from all the sunscreen. The chemicals are
killing the ocean life. Makes you wonder what they might be doing to us!

Vaccinations
This is probably the one of the most divisive health issues
confronting society today. Whatever your
view may be, I would recommend you to take a look at the Foundation’s new flyer
devoted to this topic. It is a fact-based approach to the discussion looking at
Myths and Facts about vaccinations, how to best build immunity, best practices
if forced to vaccinate, and known harmful ingredients that are in vaccinations.
