There is no natural vitamin K in the "vitamin" K shot. This pharmaceutical doesn't include any of the natural forms of vitamin K found in plant foods such as nettles or pasture-raised animal foods such as butter. Instead, the synthetic "vitamin" in this shot is called phytonadione. The injections contain synthetic compounds, chemical stabilizers, and preservatives—and in some formulations, trace amounts of aluminum or benzyl alcohol. The rationale for it is that infants don’t have sufficient levels of vitamin K—needed to clot blood—in their bloodstream for the first 8 days of life, so if they bruise, or are in a car accident on the way home from the hospital, baby may bleed to death. By all accounts, this is an extremely rare occurrence. The mainstream perspective is that this "vitamin" K shot is critical and it is routinely administered upon birth, unless parents opt out. Breastmilk has been tested and most milk is low in vitamin K because the women themselves are vitamin K deficient. The Weston A. Price Foundation's position is that if mother's blood has a considerable amount of vitamin K some will pass the placenta and into the infant. Some will also pass via breastmilk. Emu oil is an excellent source. Goose liver and fat, duck fat, cheese and yolks as well. A cup or two of nettle tea each day from about 36 weeks onward another way to build vitamin K stores before baby is born. How did our ancestors on traditional diets raise healthy children without shots and drops? Read "Is Vitamin K Shot Necessary For Newborns" westonaprice.org/health-topi…

In this week's Wise Traditions podcast, host Kendall Nelson welcomes Dr. Leland Stillman, author of "The End of Autoimmunity," for a conversation that reconsiders conventional assertions about chronic illness, inflammation and the body's remarkable capacity to heal. Audio, transcription and video: bit.ly/autoimmunityinterview Why are so many people told they have autoimmune conditions these days? Dr. Stillman @stillmanmd believes the answers often lie in the cumulative effects of modern life—from nutrient-depleted foods and environmental toxins to chronic stress, LED bulbs and EMF exposure. He introduces the concept of a "repair deficit," and offers practical solutions. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation! Re: the reel, Dr. Stillman mentions to the fact that the rollout of 5G corresponded with another event. Dr. Tom Cowan made the connection very early on. Do you know what the event is?

Congressman Thomas Massie presented at out 2026 Wise Traditions Conference held in DC on October 16. This video is only a brief snippet. He advocates for noncompliance. See the entire presentation: youtu.be/PeTYkdVmYVk What follows is our description from our conference website: "Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie is the best friend small farmers and real food patrons have ever had in Congress. The PRIME Act, which he sponsored, is the most important legislation the local food movement has ever had before Congress. We have invited him to speak about important non-partisan issues related to small farms and food freedom which he has championed."

We embark on a new month and on a new principle - the eleventh of our 11 Wise Traditions Dietary Principles. Learn all about it: bit.ly/principle11 Sneak peek! What does it mean to space children adequately? 3 years between children is recommended, if at all possible. So, first children is born and second child is born when first child is 3. This allows for the mother's body to replenish vital nutrients to nourish subsequent children while in the womb and as she breastfeeds.

Pumpkin! Have you had it this season? Have you carved it? We have pumpkin recipe archives that include soups, pies, waffles, flan, pepitas, and cream cheese cake. Gummies too! bit.ly/pumpkinrecipearchives Pumpkins are one of the oldest known domesticated, selectively-bred crops. They were developed in North America and Central America over 9,000 years back. Their wild ancestors were small, bitter, and hard-shelled. Initially, Europeans viewed the pumpkin as "peasant food" or crude animal feed, however it slowly adapted into local cuisines across Europe, India, and Asia.

What can traditional cultures teach us about fertility, pregnancy and raising healthy children? Our latest Wise Traditions podcast explores that question! Audio, transcription and video: bit.ly/raisehealthychildrenl… Nutritionist Mariélli Pahim has spent 15 years traveling through more than 35 countries, living and working alongside ancestral, indigenous and peasant communities to learn firsthand how they grow, prepare and eat their food. Inspired by the work of Dr. Weston A. Price, her journey took her from Tonga and Fiji to Southeast Asia, India, Scandinavia, Turkey and beyond. Along the way, Mariélli began noticing striking similarities. Traditional diets varied enormously from place to place, but she consistently encountered nutrient-dense animal foods, fermented foods, wild foods and time-honored preparation techniques. She shares how living with a family in Tonga challenged her own vegetarian diet and ultimately transformed the way she thought about food. We also explore what these cultures taught her about fertility. Mariélli explains why nourishment should begin well before conception—and why the health of the father matters just as much as the health of the mother. She shares a fascinating story from Indonesia, where a family intentionally prepared an especially nutrient-dense meal for a young couple preparing to have a child. Mariélli takes us through pregnancy, traditional first foods for babies, and the sacred postpartum period—including what she witnessed in Turkey, where new mothers were surrounded by women for 40 days and nourished with warming foods, broths, lamb, organs and plenty of rest. From fish eggs and reindeer as her own baby's first foods to the simple practice she recommends for anyone wanting to begin eating more traditionally, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that some of our most valuable nutritional wisdom may not be new at all.

Help save Wisconsin raw milk! Please learn more details about this case and act now: bit.ly/savewisconsinrawmilk Keep in mind that the state never took any enforcement action on the dairy before they suspended the license that they themselves had issued that allows the dairy to sell raw milk. The laws the dairy operates under are the same as they have been since they received their license. It appears that the state has suspended their license without due case and now seek to impose fines. Please share this post!
