Besides the SAD, this is the cause of ALL chronic illness. Well done!
Christine

Brilliant! Thank you. Unfortunately, I think I am now at the stage where I need to fix my adrenals. My gallbladder is very sluggish and I think it is all related. The problem now, is that eating fatty foods make me feel sick, so it seems like a vicious circle! As I have gallbladder problems, there is no way that I could eat the proportions of fat, protein and carbs that you recommend, so what ratios would you recommend for me? I am of extremely low body weight, so need to put on weight. I have heard that you shouldn’t eat too many carbs, but as I can’t eat very much fat, I wonder where to get my weight from?

We always used to be told that eating lots of cholesterol would block our arteries. Is that not the case then?

I also get a bit confused, because we are told that saturated fats block the absorption of the omegas, which we also need.

Also, what is the difference between good and bad cholesterol? Are we supposed to be eating lots of both? For instance, I believe that coconut oil contains good cholesterol, so would that be good to eat as well as animal fat (I appreciate that it probably doesn’t have the fat soluble vitamins A and D in though)?

You said that by avoiding beef, you are over 7 times as likely to get a zinc deficiency – is that just beef or all red meat?

You said it was important to get the sodium/potassium balance right, but I believe (may be wrong) that potassium is abundant in plant foods, so we would need to be eating plenty of them for that surely?

You also say to get B vitamins from animal foods, but wouldn’t fermented vegetables provide us with bacteria to produce B vitamins in our body?

Just to point out – people can get their homocysteine levels checked if they want to by a simple blood test (there are some available online).

Sorry for all the questions and I very much appreciate all your information. Thank you.

  Mark’s Daily Apple is a blog with lots of answers to your questions. The short answer about cholesterol is: high cholesterol does not equal heart disease. Heart disease is caused by inflammation/triglycerides/too much sugar.
  
  “Fat Head” is a fantastic documentary about the same subject.

This was an excellent presentation and very informativ, only that I was left with more questions. I believe time is to short to get through a toppic like this.

Well, well Sean, so this is it. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done. The value of this summit is unmeasurable.It made me come to one conclusion: if Joel Salatin should ever run for worlds presidency, he’ll definitely get my vote!! To my believe, he would be able to manage, what do you think ;D?
No, for real, you made it happen.

Is Krill oil good? Or is cod liver oil better?
Sandra

What a fantastic presentation – I learned a lot – it was packed with info. Loved the charts and graphs to illustrate your points. I agree with the noter who said this topic needs more time!

I’m surprised at your suggestion to limit veggies (not just fruits). Will look into this more…
Coachpiuze

Very informative presentation!

Great presentation. This is the only presentation that I actually took notes.

What she said really resonated with me about doing this because you get so much satisfaction improving the lives of others/healing them naturally. Seeing my clients healthier than ever before is the greatest reward I get from what I do.

So much information during this presentation I think I just went into adrenal fatigue…

  hahaha! My bad!

Just more awesome stuff! So many people suffer through adrenal fatigue. My sister skipped her coffee yesterday and could not even stay awake while standing up!
Nursewriter

Wonderful info. Reinforces many things I’m studying. Question: I have a friend whose cortisol levels are pretty low during the day but rises high at bedtime through the night. How best can she address this? Results were given via 24hr. diurnal saliva test. Thanks so much.

Pam,
You said you like the bottom line and that works for me as well – get your educational message across without the fluff – all in 70 minutes. Your slides were thorough and your charts are my new menu guide and shopping list to jumpstart the path.to optimal adrenal health.

I thought liver had toxins in it. Isn’t it the organ that cleanses toxins? Also, the store had raw cheese that was not grass-fed or grass-fed cheese that was pasteurized, so which would be the better selection? I couldn’t find raw and grass-fed in one cheese.

Any JERF listeners, please reply if you know where to buy butter and cheese that is both grass-fed and raw. Also need recipes for liver; I don’t know how to prepare it.

Thank you again, Pam.

  Hi Renni,
  first of all, if you get yourself the irish Kerrygold butter, you’re absolutely on the safe side. I have noticed that paleo dieter buy this butter worldwide, even here in Germany.
  Now coming to the liver recipe, we like it simple. Just slice the liver into nice pieces (like medaillons or keep them long) than, if its in your diet, sprinkle some arrowroot starch on them or almond flower (flower not meal) and fry them in butter at middle temperature until they get a little crispy. Now it’s up to you whether you like them medium rare or well done. While still in the pan you can season them with salt and fresh ground pepper shortly before you take them out. We like to serve them with fried onion rings (in butter or olive oil) and mashed sweet potatoes. Bon appetit.
  Wasn’t this summit an awesome place to collect informations? I loved it.

I am a new comer to the dark side and I found this presentation amazing just so overwhelmed right now with all this info I am finding out thank you so much sean for opening my eyes!!!

I needed this video after the week I’ve had. I’m suspecting something might be up with my adrenals but the past week as well as trying to watch most of the videos I was, minding my brothers cat/plants/house which was a bit of a walk from my place to his, I also ended up getting a job which I had less than 24hrs to prepare for, which included buying clothes for, the worry of being on less money now with a job and the complications with that, I haven’t paid my rent this month (and I don’t have enough cash for it) with the job again first time teaching english to french teens and loads more but I got to see the videos I wanted to and as a result of everything in the last week I’m considering more and more going back to college and studying dietetics.

To bed now(way past my bedtime here) and up early to prepare lesson plans, adverbs of manner and some sort of conditionals.

Thank you so much! I want to be your patient, and then I want to be you.

Just a question, is the information in this presentation mainly aimed towards people of European descent? To start I just want to say that I am not against eating meat. I am of W.African descent and I am still fairly aware of our traditional diet and also of how hard it is to hunt and catch a wild animal. Once the animal is caught you usually also have to share with quite a few people so you don’t get a huge piece. Fruit and vegetables on the other hand are available in abundance. (The starving images you see on TV are non existent where I come from) A lot of out traditional meals are vegetarian and fish based. We do eat a lot of fat but these are mainly plant based (palm oil, african plums and avocado to be specific). In addition our cows, goats and bush meat are very lean and lower in animal fat than thier modern western counterparts. We also only started eating milk products after being colonised and to this day, dairy is really expensive and considered a luxury product not consumed in the same ammounts as in the west. However the conditions mentioned in this presentation which occur in association with adrenal fatigue do not seem to be as predominant as they are in the west. I personaly do not feel that I suffer from Adrenal fatigue. When I do meet people who are of non-western descent suffering from some of the symptoms mentioned here, my immediate advice is to cut down on the ammount of animal produce they are eating and start including more green vegetables into thier diet.

Finally to my understanding most animals in the west after being being killed are hung in cold stores to be aged for at least 10 days. I think this is mainly because this process makes the meat more tender, to give it that fall off the bone/no need to use your teeth and chew texture, most people seem to love out here. In this time it starts decomposing. I don’t know if this holds true for organic meat too as I have not researched this. but lets just say all meat is aged to some extent, would the nutrients in meat not also start depleting as they do in transported vegetables?

Ok I stopped listening at about 50 minutes so I am going to finish the presentation to see if I missed some information.

Any thoughts?

  Good thoughtful comments, Alexa. Anyhow, just general musings:
  
  From all that I’ve heard, palm, coconut, avocado and olive make healthy oils. Yes, they are vegetable oils, but they differ from corn, safflower, canola etc. In the well-overladen omega-6 diet of Westerners, we probably need to balance out the healthy vegetable oils with omega-3 sources, whereas with a traditional diet in Africa, the need to do this is less, since I suspect in many areas not affected by current starvation issues, that the balance between the two is already closer. (I know nothing about plum oil! Do tell!)
  
  Yes, our factory meats are indeed fattier than wild game (both here and there) or than pastured meats; one of many reasons that when I purchase meat, I purchase from pastured sources (or accept gifts of venison and squirrel from friends who hunt). Frankly, I don’t think you can go wrong with lots of veggies, a good supply of fish, and select occurrences of pastured meats.
  
  I don’t know enough about the hanging of meats. The few tidbits that come to mind are insufficient to bring into a discussion…

Just wanted to thank you for putting this summit together Sean Croxton. Even for someone who’s been reading up on this information for years now it was definitely fun, informative, and a priceless set of video presentations. I highly appreciate the work you’ve done to put this summit together and I shared with a couple friends who also had a positive experience. Thank you, kindly!!
