I still have a sweet tooth even after removing grains and sugar. I usually cure it with some protein and fat or tea with stevia. Chiot’s Run – Sugar is so addictive, isn’t it?!

The one thing I need to work on is getting more sugar out of Mr Chiots diet, he's got quite a sweet tooth. But when our bees produce more honey next year we're hoping to us all honey or homemade maple syrup for sweeteners. I also need to work on our grains. I'm considering buying sprouted grain flour. I currently grind some of our own, but I just don't seem to find the time to sprout it before I grind it.

I just bought some probiotic supplements a week ago. Two actually, one a mix of different probiotics, one a mix of other herbs in a (different) probiotic base. I should be getting a good blend of healthy bacteria for my digestive system. I also take a multivitamin with extra Vitamin E, Biotin and Folic Acid. But I'm really just getting started in learning about this. I know so little. We eat a moderately healthy diet already (comparatively speaking) but I'm in the process of switching us to an even more whole foods diet. I've been incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade breads and yogurt, but I have been hearing a lot lately about the benefits of switching to raw milk and going back to butter instead of margarine. There's just so much to learn about though. I'm digging through it a piece at a time. Thanks again! THANK YOU!

I have a question about iodine: I was told it decreases thyroid function. I give my son kombu for teething but was told it would slow the thyroid(?). Any insight on this? Also, I know you did a whole series on fermentation, so I'm also curious about fermented cod oil; mostly why and how. Thanks! Thanks for this informative post.

Also, I am so new to even think too much about what I am putting in the bodies of myself and my children. I have a lot in common with you as far as my past eating habits as well as my health. My quest for better health began from looking into more natural ways to solve some of the sinus trouble I have had for the last several years. My symptoms heavily effect my quality of life as well as my role as a wife and mother. Now, finally to my question! I have looked into wheatgrass a bit as well as spirulina. I have tried both and I am interested in each for different reasons. So, for one, what would you take be on wheatgrass? Two, is it a bad idea to take both (I have heard the acidity in spirulina would cancel out any benefit of wheatgrass)? I have recently added coconut oil into my daily intake as well as cod liver oil. I also have a good quality probiotic and I occasionally have added a shot of wheatgrass to my juice. Thoughts for me???
