Two livestreams, one day! See you tonight!
Dr. John Catanzaro was a naturopathic physician in Bothell, WA when the state suspended him on claims he was misleading cancer patients. He owned the Health and Wellness Institute of Integrative Medicine and Cancer Treatment where he was using what he called a "cancer vaccine" to help patients. The DOH alleged that Dr. Catanzaro neglected to tell some of his patients the treatment was experimental. I was a TV reporter in Seattle at the time, assigned to this story at night after his office had closed. We aired the DOH claims without a statement from Dr. Catanzaro and thereby smeared his practice. Later, I interviewed several of his patients who credited him with their lives, and were horrified the state required the destruction of their treatment. But in many ways it was too late, the damage was done.
We bought 3 types of butter recently because I want you to see the difference in color based on the cow’s diet. This is important because there are some loud voices in conventional agriculture that say “calories are calories”, doesn’t matter whether the cow eats donuts or grass. The focus is on volume and production, not on nutritional benefits for the cow and thereby the human.
It’s obvious looking at these three types of butter that more fresh grass equals a darker colored butter. So what does that mean? The darker yellow means more beta carotene. Beta carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, and supports vision along with immune function. I have also read that it protects skin from oxidative stress. Additionally, more fresh grass translates into more vitamin K2 in the butter. K2 is very important for our body’s ability to absorb calcium into bones and teeth, so it does not deposit in soft tissue or arteries.
It’s still important to know your farmer because “Big Food” has ...
The CDC says lettuce from Taco Bell that originated in Mexico is linked to a parasite-caused, explosive diarrhea outbreak in the Midwest. Of course no health official or media outlet is telling people NEVER to eat salad again. But when raw milk makes headlines, that’s exactly what we see. The reality is that there are health benefits in raw foods. Eating anything is a risk. If you want to take your risk at Taco Bell, go ahead, I stand by your freedom to do so. I will continue to drink raw milk. Everyone MYOB.

The kids and I want to get a barn cat but Lynn has put his foot down. No cats! Why? Because he is allergic and is SURE we will eventually bring the cat inside despite our promises that it will remain an outdoors animal. Where does he get this crazy idea?
