Anja Middelveld, Licensed Acupuncturist, Nutritional Therapist, founder of Healing Path Holistic Medicine Clinic.

In 1989 I was diagnosed with cancer. This life threatening illness unleashed my desire to help others. As cancer inspired me to deepen my knowledge of natural healing, also being pregnant with my daughter Isabella stimulated me to take it to the next level with nutritional therapy. Today I am a healthy mom, and have been a practitioner of natural health for over 15 years. In 2002 I earned a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. In 2004 I founded Healing Path Holistic Medicine Clinic in Milwaukie, where I offer acupuncture, nutritional, massage therapy, and Qigong classes.

My specialty is in reducing pain, fatigue, digestive issues, allergies, and women’s health problems . Acupuncture and simple nutritional adjustments can help reduce pain levels dramatically, especially if the patient gets involved with taking charge of their own health. Couples, who are trying to conceive, maintain a healthy pregnancy, or other reproductive health issues will be evaluated with a thorough nutritional assessment, a functional examination and acupuncture treatment. Patients often are sent home with educational tips and a plan to achieve their goals.

Brenda Ruble is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who has been a facilitator of health and healing for the past twenty years.

Her work began from the ground up, researching and studying soil improvement, animal husbandry, sustainable farming and gardening, and holistic medical practices; and has evolved into an exploration of the body-mind-world connection.

Brenda is inspiring others to take control of their lives, educating them to think in new ways about symptoms and disease. She teaches that illness is the body's powerful method of communication that something within or around us is out of balance. When we master this "language of the body" we can actually increase our potential for healing.

Brenda is an advocate of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the restoration of traditionally prepared, mineral-rich foods to the American diet through education, research and activism. She works closely with farmers, university research groups and consumers to continue developing chemical-free grass-fed pastured livestock, wild-caught ocean fish and other nutrient-dense whole foods while educating along the way.

Brenda Ruble is a voice of passion & possibility, inspiring others to restore health from within. Visit her websites at www.brendaruble.com and www.thymelycuisine.com or write her at info@ThymelyCuisine.com.

Charles Welling became personally involved in nutrition at the age of 16 when, as a very sick young man, Hollywood "Nutritionist to the Stars" Rheo H. Blair saved his life. In turn, Charles is now authoring the forthcoming biography on the life and work of Mr. Blair (rheohblair.blogspot.com)

Certified in Nutritional Therapy through NTA, Charles also authors the Campaign for Real Health blog (www.campaignforrealhealth.com) where he educates the public on achieving real and lasting health through proper diet and lifestyle. He may be reached at CharlesWelling@gmail.com.

I have worked as a teacher, in commission sales, owned my own businesses and helped my husband pastor churches. My own health issues created an interest in nutrition that I pursued for years. But, the NTA training gave me a solid understanding of what I already knew. Nutrition is the answer to America's health crisis.

As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner I am combining my love of teaching and desire to help people with my enthusiasm for nutrition. I love seeing light bulbs go off for people when they understand what to eat and why, and actually connect that to how they feel. And then, when I test them to see what specific whole food supplements help them with that nagging "problem", we both see real improvement.

I work with people by appointment, one on one, to help make lasting changes in their health. I am also available for (and love to do) group presentations. Additional Training: Nutritional Response Testing, BA-English/Journalism, Washington State teaching certificate 4th - 12th grades.

The Nutritional Therapist Training Program is grounded in the belief that health is based on a foundational approach to nutrition. Drawing from the early nutritional pioneers; Weston A. Price, DDS and Francis Pottenger, Jr., MD and based on a whole food approach to nutrition, NTA has created a program that enables students to learn the role of diets and nutrition in health and wellness, to assess individual nutritional status and offer dietary counseling, address and correct nutritional deficiencies, balance body chemistry, participate in natural wellness and work side-by-side with healthcare professionals. This course is available to professionals looking to enhance their practice with nutrition or for anyone ready to embark on a new career as a nutritional therapist.

NTA's philosophy is that the myriad of health problems that plague modern society result from weaknesses in the body's physiological foundations as a result of poor nutrition. As an education organization, NTA is dedicated to helping healthcare professionals understand and reverse the tragic and unsuspected effects of the modern diet for their patients and clients. Throughout our training programs and seminars, students access a wide range of education tools and connect nationally with other practitioners in the healing arts.

American Grassfed Association protects and promotes true grassfed producers & grassfed products through national communication, education, research and marketing efforts. When you choose grassfed products, you are choosing products that are

• Better for the animals...eating (in the pasture) what nature intended
• Better for the environment...harmony between the land & the animals
• Better for farmers/ranchers...living & working in a healthy sustainable atmosphere
• Better food...grassfed foods are lower in saturated fats & higher in essential nutrients
• Better for you...nutritious grassfed foods support better overall health

Based on a series of lectures given by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924, Biodynamics is a method of agriculture which seeks to actively work with the health-giving forces of nature. It is the oldest non-chemical agricultural movement, predating the organic agriculture movement by some twenty years and has now spread throughout the world.

The Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association (BDA) , a non-profit organization open to the public, was formed in the U.S. in 1938 in order to foster, guide, and safeguard the Biodynamic method of agriculture.

Back in the '20s, Americans could buy fresh raw whole milk, real clabber and buttermilk, luscious naturally yellow butter, fresh farm cheeses and cream in various colors and thicknesses. Today's milk is accused of causing everything from allergies to heart disease to cancer, but when Americans could buy Real Milk, these diseases were rare. In fact, a supply of high quality dairy products was considered vital to American security and the economic well being of the nation. What's needed today is a return to humane, non-toxic, pasture-based dairying and small-scale traditional processing, in short, a "Campaign for Real Milk".

The Mission: To promote access to all health care information, services, treatments and products that the people deem beneficial for their own health and survival; to promote an understanding of the laws and factors impacting the right to access; and to promote the health of the people of this nation.

This web page contains details explaining the procedure of culturing traditional dairy-milk kefir, including recipes for culturing non-dairy kefir related beverages. These culture-products are cultured with kefir grains. Most of these culture-products, which include Kefir d'erba medica , Kefir d'uva and Kefir d'pollin were pioneered and developed by Dom. A recipe for culturing the infamous water-kefir, Kefir d'acqua is also explained. In addition, details explaining experimental and alternative methods for preparing kefir are shared here also. A recipe for preparing a chemical free natural liquid detergent for washing utensils is also forwarded. Included are some of Dom's favorite kefir recipes.

The Weston A. Price Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated nonindustrialized peoples established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets. Dr. Price's research demonstrated that humans achieve perfect physical form and perfect health generation after generation only when they consume nutrient-dense whole foods and the vital fat-soluble activators found exclusively in animal fats.
