Love your list and I will sure read some of the ones I haven’t yet.
I would love to recommend wild power by Alexandra Pope. This was such an eye opener for me.

Hi Katie, i’ve been following you since early 2012 if I remember well.. you are an amazing person, great companion to me.
I’m a mum of 3 kids on a mission…. totally forgot everything i knew as i went on a quest to discover the true wisdom… i love how you embraced philosophy and quantum physics in the process… it was a natural progression to me as well;-)
Happy Holidays, Katie!

I am interested in dental health and I found your blog post. The Cure Tooth Decay book is probably something I’m looking for, it’s reasonable. I hope I will have beautiful teeth. Again, thank you.

In reply to Ann Marie Michaels. This is an older post, and it is on my list to update. I don't know that I've ever actually promoted the Weston A. Price foundation directly and only linked to Nourishing Traditions and Nutrition and Physical Degradation, which I still do consider good books. I know there have been some issues with WAPF lately and honestly haven't looked into them much. I don't know anything about NutraPro or their company, and I haven't tried it or recommended it and have no plans to. I will definitely look into the link you sent though.

Hi,

I would like to know if you will continue to promote the Weston A. Price Foundation and Sally Fallon Morell given that she is recommending NutraPro International cod liver oil whose owner is apparently a registered sex offender?

I was alarmed to find out that the owner of NutraPro International apparently friended me on Facebook using a fake name. Do you know this man and do you know he was arrested for sexual predatory behavior online? He was stalking a 13-year-old girl which turned out to be an undercover police officer.

NutraPro is listed in the “Best” category for CLO on the WAPF website. I’ve emailed Sally Fallon Morell to ask her what she knows about the arrest and if she has a statement.

Perhaps you’d also like to write a post about this to warn your readers? I was alarmed to find out that the owner of the company apparently friended me on Facebook using a fake account. You might want to check your friends list and see if he added you.

Thank you,
Ann Marie Michaels

I love your blog! Thank you so much for posting ALL of this wonderful information! I do have a question. It’s awesome to see what books you recommend but I was also wondering what magazines do you read or subscribe to? It would be nice to get encouragement in the mailbox every so often and their are so many magazine choices. What do you recommend?

Do you have any suggestions for a “getting-started-along-this-diet-path” cookbook?
I am a seasoned cook, but new to sugar-free, grain-free, meat included way of cooking and eating. I really appreciate your information and honesty!

I just read “Grain Brain” by the doctor that wrote wheat belly and it was a life changer!! It discusses credible studies about the brain and grains and sugar. I’ve tried a gazillion diets, etc. and always cheated.
This book motivated me to go cold turkey with sugar and grains. Partially because of needing to loose 60 pounds but more because of the effect grains and sugar have on your brain.
I’ve lost 14 pounds in 5 weeks and have gone 37 days with no sugar. I’m counting days without sugar as abstinence days. IE Hi, I’m Harriet and I’m a sugar addict. I’ve been sober 35 days!! Sounds crazy but I finally have a sober eating plan than works and is really enjoyable. The sugar cravings are minimal and I don’t feel compelled to stop at MacDonalds, Wendy’s, DQ, etc when I’m even slightly hungry, bored, anxious, happy….. I now have food I enjoy at home. I’m saving a fortune by avoiding restaurants.

Have you considered putting all your tips on this site in a book. I would be the first to buy! I want something in print that has all this stuff & my printer sheets are just not a good substitute for a real book. I was most impressed with your recipes for makeup & want a book to keep on my shelf for reference. THERE ARE NONE that I have found from searching. I wish all of the great recipes on your site were all bound in a cover-it-all book! Any suggestions that come close? Thanks!

You might want to fix the typo in “The Surrendered Wife”. I assume you have only one husband, not many:)! Love the booklist-it has been incredibly helpful.

Sorry if I struck a nerve (judging by the all caps)… not trying to offend, and this book is certainly not about losing oneself or being subservient or spineless. Quite the opposite, it focuses on letting go of the needless worry and simply trusting that one’s husband is capable in a given situation and not having the need to constantly supervise. This was a big struggle for me… he didn’t load the dishwasher “my” way, or interact with the kids the same way I would, so I was constantly trying to supervise or “suggest” other ways to do things and driving us both nuts. In a nutshell, I just trust that he is a wonderful husband and father and expect the best outcome. It is much less stress for me, and I’d say much less for him too 🙂

I have another book recommendation for you: Be Your Own Doctor by Rachel Weaver (Master Herbalist). Lots of great information and recipes for treating common family boo boos and ailments. I know you would love it.
