Know the Cause with Doug Kaufmann: interview with Caryn Talty (Healthy-Family.org)
In this interview I talked candidly with Doug Kaufmann about the recovery process we went through with my son after he was diagnosed with a chronic multifocal tic disorder in January of 2007. At the beginning of the interview Doug Kaufmann referred to my previous article The Corn We Eat is Infested with Mycotoxic Fungi.
My son eventually made a full recovery but the process was long and slow. We didn’t know the cause initially and spent quite a bit of money testing and trying various alternative treatments. They improved his condition but did not cure it. An allergy test we did that spring gave us something to go on and after nine months on the specific diet and supplement regime he really started to improve. After about 1 1/2 years he became symptom free. …read the rest of this entry »
If you are frantically getting ready for the holidays and in need of a good alternative to the egg nog in the stores, here’s a terrific dairy free recipe that is quick and easy.
We hadn’t had egg nog for years until last Christmas when we decided to have a battle of the egg nog contest at our house: Joy of Cooking vs. the Internet. We mixed up a batch of the Joy of Cooking Cooked recipe. My mom chose an internet recipe that was less rich and less sweet. The Joy of Cooking recipe was sweeter and richer – much richer.
Our dairy free modification to the Joy recipe was to replace all of the milk and cream with coconut milk. Of the total quantity, we used half light coconut milk and half full fat. …read the rest of this entry »

Someone who gave me mayo advice a while back said that there was nothing that compared to real, fresh, honest mayo.
Boy, was she right.
I have attempted to make mayo before, but it wasn’t until recently that I finally cracked the code. I have tried several different recipes both online and even the one found in my beat up Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook that has navigated my kitchen with me for years.
I have always failed. It didn’t matter how many times I tried, my mayonnaise never wanted to thickenen properly. If it did it would deflate as soon as I added the oil.

Are you Chronically Sick? Many folks who find themselves practicing a gluten free diet wind up on that road for a variety of reasons. You may have tested positive for gluten intolerance, may have found out you suffer from Celiac disease, and may have even been diagnosed with candida overgrowth. If you are struggling and finding that the gluten free diet is not helping you regain your health it is quite possible you need to eliminate additional grains from your diet.
I recently attended the Conference on Natural Treatments for Tics, OCD, Tourette Syndrome, and Depression last weekend in Dallas. I heard Doug Kaufmann speak at length about mycotoxins and their negative effect on the body. The author of eight books on fungi and host of the syndicated television show, “Know the Cause”, he claims that these toxins are capable of causing various health problems and need to be addressed before folks with chronic illness can become well again. …read the rest of this entry »
