Signs of Change

My two little boys are in their playroom setting the table and pretending to make food. I just overheard Curious George say to Happy Dancer, "I'm scooping your cod liver oil." Wow, how our diet has changed!

Since we are drinking raw milk without added Vitamin D, we needed another source of Vitamin D in our diet. The Weston A. Price Foundation describes cod liver oil as "our most important superfood." Their website has detailed information about the importance of cod liver oil, and they have recommendations for the best brands.

Every day we take our butter oil/fermented cod liver oil from Green Pasture. We began with the Chocolate cream, and the combination of chocolate and fish was initially gag-inducing. My husband couldn't stand it, so he switched to the capsules. Since our little boys can't take a capsule yet, we had to find a way to tolerate the smell and taste. I discovered that if I coated the spoonful of cod liver oil with applesauce, I could swallow without wanting to lose my lunch. Amazingly, my palate has really changed over the last 6 months, and now I don't really need the applesauce. I don't even smell the fishy aroma anymore. For variety, we tried Green Pasture's Cinnamon Tingle flavor of cod liver oil. They aren't kidding about the "tingle" part. The tingle was so strong that it made Happy Dancer cry. We had to separate his 1/2 tsp. serving over several bites with lots of applesauce. Now we are back to the Chocolate Cream flavor, and everyone happily takes their cod liver oil every night.

Heart Surgeon Speaks Out On What Really Causes Heart Disease

My grandma and two of my uncles died from heart disease. I'm praying that the changes we are making to our diet will stop the pattern of people dying too young in our family.
