we've just been experimenting with cutting back on dairy except for
butter... didn't work in our case, but learnt along the way that
whilst butter is usually ok when milk isn't, clarified butter is even
safer again, check out the recipe in NT.
i've had to make my own butter this week as raw butter was
unavailable for months (being winter). i remembered back in primary
school that our class all took turns to stir cream (conventional)
until it turned to 'butter' (but i realise now it just turned into
extremely thick cream)... when i made butter last week using the same
method but with raw cream, it turned into butter in about a tenth of
the time and exuded buttermilk which was a surprise! then i found
the details in NT and got very excited that i'd discovered it all by
myself!
also, not sure if you'll remember back ages ago we were talking about
this john person in north queensland who has a retreat and uses raw
food? i sent him a couple of emails and he replied once but i never
heard back from him again.
also, have just found an iridologist near me, does anyone here have
any good/bad experience/comment to make on iridology?
