Paleo Diet: Glutathione Protects Against Asthma
Just today, March 31st 2012, Chris Masterjohn published a brand new article on the Weston A. Price Foundation website, entitled “With the Wave of a Wand, Raw Milk Wipes Away the Wheeze: How Our Good Friend Glutathione Protects Against Asthma”. Yes, with a title of that length, it’s obvious that Chris has a bit of [...]
Who Are Your Paleo Diet Heroes?
Who are your paleo diet heroes? I was pondering this question recently after someone asked me how I “discovered” paleo.

Sally Fallon talks about soy….
