N.T.P. stands for Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, which is the certification designation one earns through the year long intensive nutrition education program at the Nutritional Therapy Association. The program is a whole foods diet based approach founded upon the ideas of the "nutritional greats" such as Weston Price and Francis Pottenger.
NTPTalk is run by Beverly Hartsfield, herself an NTP and all the articles at NTPTalk are written by fellow NTPs. The contributions by NTPs are comprised of two categories: articles on nutrition and whole food recipes. For you "FOODIES" -- this is a must see, must know resource!

Explore a newly emerging theory of disease and health: Doug Kaufmann of Know the Cause.com teaches that most illness has an underlying relation to fungal growth in the body. His knowledge base his huge and his experience is vast. If you have tried everything still can't solve your health issue, it's probably time to learn more about this. His site is here, and my in-depth introduction to him is here.
Find out about "primal living:" Those in the primal community avoid almost all grains regardless of the "quality" of the source. Mark's Daily Apple is a great resource for this approach to health and living.

"New" findings presented at the annual scientific meeting of the American Heart Association find that Niacin may be more effective than cholesterol-lowering drugs. Glad they are catching up, but the cholesterol-lowering -- and other -- benefits of niacin is old news.
My name is Sarah. And I am a recovering vegetarian.
Raw Milk Myths: are we prisoners of pasteurization? Lengthy, detailed, and written by a physician. Part I. Part II.
Two speech excerpts from the recent Weston Price Conference:

Raw Milk from Pasture-Fed Cows, the Ultimate Sacred Food by Ted Beals, MD:
Latest anti-raw milk hysteria: no proven links between E. coli and raw milk from Dungeness Valley Creamery. The Creamery issues a detailed statement.
More on government bias against raw milk, here.
Mammogram radiation may put some women at risk.
A growing number of women are having babies at home without medical help.
Women with breast cancer have low Vitamin D levels. MUCH more about this here.
Now they want to jab cows with yet another toxic substance: a vaccine to prevent E.-coli. All the more reason to eat grass fed beef.
No surprise here: studies funded by Big Pharma are four times MORE likely to show outcomes favorable to -- Big Pharma. Distorted evidence?
"We plodding humans have been fighting antibiotic resistance the same way for decades: by restricting access to antibiotics and developing new drugs to kill off problem bugs. It hasn’t worked, and it’s never going to.” Antibiotic resistance. Interesting side note, the article says vitamin C can reduce antibiotic resistance, which leads one to wonder aloud -- if people had enough Vitamin C in their systems in the first place if they would even need antibiotics? In many cases, probably not.

Why do we have 90 times more autism than the Amish?
Surprise! Healthy school lunches increase student interest and participation.
Another Surprise: Kids eat less junk foods when schools stop providing it. “...we found that when you take soda and high-fat snacks out of schools, students did not compensate at home. Instead, they ate better at school and no worse at home."
MMR vaccine: 8 year old Dutch boy gets it and (surprise...) dies three days later...
...So it should come as no real surprise that Big Pharma Wants to Make You Sick.
So while drugs do not impart health, per se, the right foods do. This amazing Bone Broth for starters.
And if you happen to be in France, you can get some healing raw milk from a vending machine in a supercenter store, of all places!
So we have seen kids in school eating healthy, people in France drinking something healthy, what about YOU now? Are You Eating Healthy? You will have a much better idea how to do so after reading this article.
Filed under life expectancy: fewer smokers, good. More obesity, worse.
