I've read most of the book, but it pretty much parallels what Nourishing Traditions/Weston A. Price Foundation has to say. That said, NT advocates the use of lard but does not have any pork recipes (besides bacon or sausage, I think). MD is against all unclean animal products (meat and fat). We pretty much follow MD except for the occasional organic/free-range bacon or sausage I make for my dh. I, personally, am trying to avoid pork. We thoroughly enjoy eating this way and have been very healthy. My dc (3.5yo ds and 1.5yo dd) get 1-2 minor colds per year, no ear infections, no stomach bugs. We have been eating this way all their lives so they don't know any different. We walk down the candy aisle at Wal-mart and they are oblivious!

In the book he does push a lot of his supplements, which is kind of annoying. I used his Primal Defense and Fungal Defense products long before I ever heard of the book. Those were my first "encounters" w/ probiotics and I would recommend them to adults. (I think it is too strong for dc.) My dh and I took the PD together and boy, did it CLEAN US OUT! We started off w/ 1 pill a day for a week, increasing our dosage by 1 pill each week. We got up to 8 pills/day and kept that going for a month or 2. Both of us had copious green junk pouring out of our sinuses. We did not have colds or anything. Felt fine except we had to blow our nose every 5 minutes. Also cleaned us out on the other end.Â

 Helped w/ skin issues for me and allergies for my dh. I would not recommend them to nursing or pg mothers who have never used them before. I would use them now (I'm 10 weeks pg) but it doesn't affect me like that anymore, even if I start out on 8 pills/day. It ain't cheap, so we try to get our probiotics from kefir and cultured veggies now that we have jumpstarted w/ the PD.Â
So, 2 thumbs up!
