“Finish each day before you begin the next, & interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Most of us undervalue the benefits of sleep, but it’s one of the few assets in our lives that’s totally free & absolutely essential to wellbeing. It’s also... a fundamental tool in preventing brain decay.

...Both laboratory & clinical studies have shown that virtually every system in the body is effected by the quality & amount of sleep we get, especially the brain. Among the proven benefits, sleep can dictate how much we eat, how fast our metabolism runs, how fat or thin we get, whether we can fight off infections, how creative & insightful we can be, how well we can cope with stress, how quickly we can process information & learn new things, & how well we can organize & store memories.”
- Dr. David Perlmutter, M.D.

Myth:
Children benefit from a low-fat diet.

Truth:
Children on low-fat diets suffer from growth problems, failure to thrive and learning disabilities.

~ Food Chem News 10/03/1994

We want our children to be as healthy as possible. This is foundational to every other part of life and begins be returning to a traditional, nutrient dense diet.

“To me, true health... is achieved by following the laws of nature; when you break them, illness results. Health is not something bestowed on you by beneficent nature at birth; it is achieved and maintained only by active participation in well-defined rules of healthy living - rules which you may be disregarding every day.”

~ Henry Bieler, MD Food Is Your Best Medicine

‘...Eating carrots, an excellent source of betacarotene, is probably superior to taking betacarotene alone; eating collard greens - which contain lots of vitamin C - is probably better than taking vitamin C alone - and eating endive, a good source of vitamin E, is probably better than taking vitamin E in capsules. I mean that eating a carrot that contains a fixed amount of the nutrient betacarotene will probably provide more - betacarotene nutritional benefit than taking the same fixed amount of - betacarotene in the purest, most concentrated, most natural betacarotene supplement you can find. Why? Synergy.’

- Doctor Jim Duke

“A return to traditional foods is a way of taking power away from the multinationals and giving it back to the artisans. The kind of food processing that makes food more nutritious is the same kind of food processing that the farmer or the farming community can do: sour milk (yogurt, kefir...), aged cheeses, pickles, sausages, broth, and beverages. All the boxed, bottled and frozen products in modern supermarkets - the cheerios, crackers, cookies, egg-beaters, margarines, diet sodas and TV dinners - have made fortunes for a few and impoverished the rest of us. The way we eat determines not only how healthy we will be, but what kind of economy we have - the kind where a few people make millions and millions of dollars or the kind where millions of people make a decent living... there will be no future unless that technology is tamed to the service of wise ancestral foodways.”

⚫️@TheFolkSchoolNetwrok⚫️ Categorization System is based on nature and the classical progression method. Our ancestors understood that having a healthy mind in a healthy body was foundational to every other part of life, and that the progression of learning proceeded from there, recognizing the interconnectedness of each area of mastery.

American Folk Nation’s based chicken recipe:

So good I forgot to take a picture of it cooked before it was half gone

Preheat oven to 425 F

Remove chicken giblets. Rinse chicken if necessary and remove pin feathers. Pat dry.

Liberally grease with butter or bacon fat outside, inside, and underneath chicken skin. Be careful when getting under the skin to not Pierce it. Carefully slide fingers under the skin starting near cavity.

Liberally season with spices. Salt, (lemon) pepper, garlic powder, onion powder on outside, under skin, and in cavity.

Cut up 1 large onion and line pan with slices of onion. Add any left over in the cavity. Cut up a head of garlic and place some cloves within the cavity. Mince the rest and hold onto it for later.

Place chicken on top of onion layer in pan. Wash baby carrots and place around chicken. Alternatively you can use cut up potatoes or use both as the side.

Add same spices as before over carrots/potatoes liberally. Also take minced garlic and add over them.

Cut up 1 large lemon into two halves. Slice one half and quarter the other. Place the quarters in the chicken and the slices around the pan over the carrots/potatoes.

Finish by adding thyme, rosemary or any other herbs you like in the cavity. Then tie the legs closed together. Then add any extra bacon grease/butter over the carrots/potatoes and put the pan in the oven.

Cook for 1 hour 15 mins rotating half way through.

Remove from oven and let sit for about 10-20 mins before cutting and serving.

Don’t forget to save the chicken bones and remnants to make broth 👌🏻

Compressed cabbage will lose water due to the applied salt. In this water, bacteria will start a fermentation process and make the kraut soft and sour.

The end product is rich in multiple vitamins, especially vitamin B12.

Recipe for sauerkraut:

~ 5kg white cabbage
~ 50g salt
~ 50g caraway seed
- some bay leaves
- a pot which holds ~5 litres

Take two big leaves of the cabbage (one for putting it at the bottim of the pot, one fir the top) and put them aside.

Chop the cabbage into fine pieces, put one of the leaves into the pot and start creating layers of ~3cm chopped cabbage in. Stomp the layers to compress them. On each layer put salt and caraway seed. Repeat until the pot is almost full or you are out of cabbage.

On top put the second big leave and something, like a clean stone, to keep the compression.

Put to some place without sun and keep it there for at least 2 months. Check regularly.
