Sounds like you had a good doctor.<br /><br />Did you know that diabetes has many similar symtoms of depression? People with diabetes not only have protein deficiency but benefit from Vitamin B complex too.<br /><br />Red, Um, the oolichan grease is very special. Native Canadians who made the grease used it for trade with other societies who did not have the fish and practice. Oolichan is sometimes called smelt. The fish population has dwindled and so has production. The practice was huge in last century, eventually the people who gathered to catch the fish and make the grease would meet in huge bands. Now it is a smaller group, less fish. More expensive...if one can use that word for a trade item. More valuable. No, not on grocery shelves. It is also often repulsive to first time tasters, outside the culture who produced it for centuries. Maybe millenia?Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-46735744022321386512006-12-01T01:49:00.000-05:002006-12-01T01:49:00.000-05:00Mmm... good to know about maple syrup being so goo...Mmm... good to know about maple syrup being so good for you! Now I can smother my pancakes in it without feeling like a pig! And licorice too (or liquorice, as we call it here). I love it, yet I never have it. Why?!? Though we do have a bottle of a delish liquorice liqueur made in Italy. Our friend Ivan (who came to visit us a few months ago) always says liquorice "stimulates her and delays him"... guess we all win, then!<br /><br />Gorgeous pictures of the oolichan grease-making process. And you find this product on supermarket shelves in Canada or is it a delicacy that you can only get directly at source?

I am a big fan of natural stuff. Especially, (because of a first nations heritage in my family), love aborginal holistic choices. Pemmican was used by the voyageurs when trapping in the Pays den haut (doing research for a YA novel). My children are lactose intolerant because Milk is so processed. When have to use lactose free, but I find giving my daughter cod liver oil (in capsule form) helps with her bowel problems.

So that he likes the distilled British version is a true compliment to the product. I love home ec, I'm terrible at it, I'm a failure as a domestic goddess, but I try. I love anything to do with food.<br /><br />*, Thanks I'm glad you got a chance to check out the oolichan process. I am sure it looks a little bizarre compared to modern factories, but it's really fascinating. "Grease" is an aquired taste for those who have not grown up with it. I happened to latch right onto it, nd would dearly ove to find some these days. Now it's expensive and rare. Lot less fisn available in the oceans.<br /><br />Darla, thanks!<br /><br />Tink, I thought you might find some of this interesting. I don't know a lot about Wicca, but the ceremonies I've been invited to always revolved around food, tinctures and herbs. I think that Wicca is a fascinating way to look at food Plus, I am really interessted in all the ways we ritualize food and eating.<br /><br />Natalie, a good nutritional source book for vitamins is indespensible. Really helps us focus on our food choices.<br /><br />Chaotic mom, I'll be right over to your blog!<br /><br />Christine, you are a typical loving mom, giving to the kids long before yourself. Remember they need you energetic and fast thinking. Organic vitamins are super important for children. Get yourself some flax seed oil!<br /><br />Goofy Girl, did you know a cup of coffee has 30 units, or 10% of our daily calcium? I am like a grizzly bear, I even eat the bones in salmon! Lots of calcium. It is scary how little calcium some folks get. You're right. The other thing is, some foods agrivate the absorbtion of vitamins and minerals. So we may get nutrient rich food, but it's being destroyed by some other fod we eat. Or substance.<br /><br />Janet, do you have a Whole Foods near you? We get their natural source Whole Foods brand Vitamin B Complex. It is alike a shot in the arm for energy!Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-60085612468718058972006-11-30T09:41:00.000-05:002006-11-30T09:41:00.000-05:00holy moly...I totally have Vitamin B complex defic...holy moly...I totally have Vitamin B complex deficiency!!!
