When Antibiotics Fail: Drug-Resistant Staph
Infections—Can Anything Stop This Deadly Threat?
Washington, DC 20016
Wise Traditions 2007 Conference explores alternatives to ineffective
antibiotics in the fight against deadly infections. Learn how you can
treat these virulent microorganisms without the use of drugs.
For Immediate Release
Washington, DC/October 31, 2007—Recent reports on increased rates of
antibiotic-
“At one time these staph infections were only associated with hospital
stays,” says Sally Fallon, President of the Weston A. Price Foundation.
“Now new strains are showing up in pre-schools, public restrooms, and
in
people who have never been hospitalized. This is becoming a serious
health threat.”
Successful nutritional and probiotic treatments for virulent
microorganisms will be one of many topics on health, wellness and
nutrition presented at Wise Traditions 2007, the eighth annual
conference
of the Weston A. Price Foundation, November 10-13 in Chantilly,
Virginia
(near Dulles Airport).
Key speakers include Mary G. Enig, PhD., a world-renowned expert on
fats
and oils, who participated in a recently published research project at
Georgetown University. In the study, researchers demonstrated that a
key
component of coconut oil was more effective than antibiotics in
treating
virulent staph microorganisms.
Ms. Fallon, author of the best-selling cookbook "Nourishing
Traditions" (with Dr. Enig) will present information on components
of animal fats and traditional fermented foods that build immunity and
protect against disease.
“The medical paradigm of the last century, which operated on the
premise
that the only good microbe was a dead microbe, is not working,” says
Fallon. “It’s time to look at what recent science tells us about the
beneficial role of microorganisms in the digestive tract and the
immune-building components of traditional diets.”
Other speakers will discuss testing for nutritional deficiencies,
strategies for digestive health, traditional remedies for childhood
diseases and practical cooking and dietary plans.
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit nutrition education
organization based in Washington, DC, with over 400 chapters in the
U.S.
and overseas. The Foundation supports accurate nutrition information,
principles of traditional diets, pasture-based farming, community
supported agriculture and holistic therapies.

Dr. Mary G. Enig, a nutritionist/
Dr. Enig has published numerous journal publications, mainly on fats
and
oils research and nutrient/drug interactions, and is a well-known
invited
lecturer at scientific meetings and a popular interviewee on TV and
radio
shows about nutrition. She was an early and articulate critic of the
use
of trans fatty acids and advocated their inclusion in nutritional
labeling; the scientific mainstream is now challenging the food product
industry's use of trans-containing partially hydrogenated vegetable
oils.
She received her Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences from the University of
Maryland, College Park, and is a Fellow of The American College of
Nutrition, a member of The American Society for Nutritional Sciences,
and
President of the Maryland Nutritionists Association.
Sally Fallon is the author of the best-selling "Nourishing
Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition
and the Diet Dictocrats." This well-researched, though-provoking
guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats
and
cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary
for
normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system,
protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Now is its second
edition, the best-selling Nourishing Traditions has stimulated the
public
health and medical communities to take a new look at the importance of
traditional foods and preparation techniques, and to reexamine the many
myths about saturated fats and cholesterol. The book places special
emphasis on the feeding of babies and children to ensure optimal
development during their crucial growing years.
Ms. Fallon and her colleague Dr. Enig are frequent contributors to
holistic health publications. Their work is widely respected for
providing accurate and understandable explanations of complicated
subjects in the field of nutrition and health. Several articles on the
dangers of modern soy products have generated intense controversy in
the
health food industry

Ms. Fallon's most recent book, "Eat Fat Lose Fat" (Penguin,
Hudson Street Press, 2005), co-authored with Dr. Mary Enig, includes

Everyday
Gourmet—along with many delicious coconut-based recipes from around the
world.
